Speed
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 575 KiB11 images could be 575 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 71 KiBAbout 71 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.
Shopify adds 209 ms
209 msShopify costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 574 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 764 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,320 HTML elements
The page has 2,320 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, juniphq.com and proguscommerce.com and others), adding 773 KiB and 237 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 96 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
93 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (93 KiB).
Duplicated JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 314 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 314 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (27), other files 965 KiB (148) and scripts 585 KiB (92). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (235 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.89 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
35 text elements with low contrast

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
