Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.8 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.5 s · 958 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (958 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
3.1 s67 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and PayPal and others), adding 8.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 484 KiB8 images could be 484 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
870 ms · 178 KiBAbout 178 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 870 ms faster on a phone.
Google Fonts adds 1 ms
1 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 5.3 MB 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 409 ms
409 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 832 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.
Google CDN adds 336 ms
336 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 1,010 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.
1,955 HTML elements
The page has 1,955 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 30 ms
30 msOther Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 30 ms of main-thread work and 520 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.
Minify JavaScript
130 ms · 17 KiB17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 10.5 MB in 283 requests
10.5 MBYour homepage downloads 10.5 MB in 283 requests on a phone: fonts 5.4 MB (17), scripts 2.8 MB (110) and images 1.4 MB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images in older formats
8 images (598 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image far larger than shown
20 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example makeup_artist_s_choice.webp at 1,376 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 20 KiB.
About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.97 g of CO₂e: 355.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

9 links without text

3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
