Render-blocking requests
1.4 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
3,615 HTML elements
The page has 3,615 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 731 KiBAbout 731 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 589 KiB13 images could be 589 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and jQuery CDN and others), adding 1.6 MB and 722 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 595 ms
595 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 595 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 206 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 16 KiBAbout 16 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 87 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (87 KiB).
Duplicated JavaScript
50 ms · 10 KiB10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
50 KiB50 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.
