Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.2 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Yotpo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 876 ms 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 370 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (370 KiB).
Improve image delivery
710 KiB8 images could be 710 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 379 ms
379 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 379 ms of main-thread work and 682 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 366 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,374 HTML elements
The page has 2,374 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 169 ms
169 msShopify costs a phone 169 ms of main-thread work and 581 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 · 49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
10 KiB10 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.2 MB in 208 requests
20.2 MBYour homepage downloads 20.2 MB in 208 requests on a phone: media 15.7 MB (4), scripts 2.6 MB (61) and images 933 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 5.7 g of CO₂ per visit
5.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.73 g of CO₂e: 688.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
12 links crawlers can't follow
