Speed
Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 332 KiB17 images could be 332 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
4,465 HTML elements
The page has 4,465 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 43 ms
43 msShopify costs a phone 43 ms of main-thread work and 295 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 6 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
150 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 303 KiB and 43 ms of main-thread time.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 292 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 34 ms
34 msYour server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.3 s
6.3 sYour largest element takes 6.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.3 s
6.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 183 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 183 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (25), other files 662 KiB (69) and scripts 232 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (46 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
