Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.2 s · 569 KiBAbout 569 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 606 KiB17 images could be 606 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Shopify and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 96 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (96 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 61 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 354 ms
354 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 354 ms of main-thread work and 361 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: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Google CDN adds 255 ms
255 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 333 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 252 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,077 HTML elements
The page has 2,077 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 145 ms
145 msKlaviyo costs a phone 145 ms of main-thread work and 311 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
150 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 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.
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: 4.3 MB in 258 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 258 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (94), images 846 KiB (25) and fonts 780 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (52 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 145.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
