Speed
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7,249 HTML elements
The page has 7,249 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (growave.io, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 639 KiBAbout 639 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 535 ms
535 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 535 ms of main-thread work and 510 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.
growave.io adds 558 ms
558 msgrowave.io costs a phone 558 ms of main-thread work and 244 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 383 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 262 ms
262 msKlaviyo costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 510 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.

225 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 225 ms of main-thread work and 481 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 231 ms
231 msShopify costs a phone 231 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
Reduce unused CSS
280 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
82 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (82 KiB).
Improve image delivery
73 KiB7 images could be 73 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
59 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
