One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.1 s · 372 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (372 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 516 KiBAbout 516 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (amaicdn.com, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.3 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
amaicdn.com adds 983 ms
983 msamaicdn.com costs a phone 983 ms of main-thread work and 511 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
500 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 49 KiB3 images could be 49 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,267 HTML elements
The page has 2,267 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
tidio.co adds 71 ms
71 mstidio.co costs a phone 71 ms of main-thread work and 517 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 47 ms
47 msShopify costs a phone 47 ms of main-thread work and 421 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
150 ms · 14 KiB14 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.

Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://matsuru.shop/products/warfare-no-gi-bundle declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://matsuru.shop/products/warfare-no-gi-bundle all use the title “Matsuru - Martial Arts Equipment”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
10 pages without a meta description
https://matsuru.shop/pages/shipping-returns, https://matsuru.shop/collections/bjj-gis, https://matsuru.shop/collections/karate-gis, https://matsuru.shop/collections/new-boxing-muay-thai-collection, https://matsuru.shop/collections/rashguards and https://matsuru.shop/collections/training-equipment and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://matsuru.shop/collections/medals has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
