Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 476 KiBAbout 476 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 743 KiB8 images could be 743 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: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Fonts and shop.app), adding 2.3 MB and 424 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 424 ms
424 msShopify costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 24 KiBAbout 24 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 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).
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 132 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 132 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (23), scripts 853 KiB (38) and other files 661 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 142 words
The homepage has only about 142 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
