Speed
3,158 HTML elements
The page has 3,158 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Yotpo, Shopify and avada.io and others), adding 1.4 MB and 595 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 368 KiBAbout 368 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 359 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (359 KiB).
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 198 KiB5 images could be 198 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 129 KiBAbout 129 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Yotpo adds 246 ms
246 msYotpo costs a phone 246 ms of main-thread work and 435 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Shopify adds 107 ms
107 msShopify costs a phone 107 ms of main-thread work and 540 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.5 MB in 348 requests
6.5 MBYour homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 348 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (42), scripts 1.3 MB (184) and other files 710 KiB (95). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
16 images below the first screen load straight away
16 images further down the page (780 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.84 g of CO₂e: 220.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
3 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Hidden but focusable
23 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
23 links without text
23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 79 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
