Speed
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,053 HTML elements
The page has 4,053 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Yotpo, Kaltura Video Platform and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 975 KiBAbout 975 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 MB31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Yotpo adds 701 ms
701 msYotpo costs a phone 701 ms of main-thread work and 737 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
600 ms · 140 KiBAbout 140 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
464 KiB11 images could be 464 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Kaltura Video Platform adds 190 ms
190 msKaltura Video Platform costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 501 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 230 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
25 KiB25 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Time to Interactive: 20.1 s
20.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s
6.6 sYour largest element takes 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Real-user INP: 204 ms
204 msReal visitors wait 204 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 509 ms
509 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 509 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
24 images without width and height
24 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 219 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 219 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (67), images 1.2 MB (62) and other files 630 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
FA26_Apparel_Gif_600x.gif weighs 936 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images in older formats
2 images (1,019 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (52 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.18 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 141.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Hidden but focusable

Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings should not be empty (2 elements)

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 10 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
