Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 969 KiBAbout 969 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.9 s
A phone's processor spends 7.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,097 HTML elements
The page has 5,097 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 707 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 538 ms
538 msShopify costs a phone 538 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 530 ms
530 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 530 ms of main-thread work and 519 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
450 ms · 97 KiBAbout 97 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
tidio.co adds 82 ms
82 mstidio.co costs a phone 82 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 56 KiB2 images could be 56 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
18 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18 KiB).
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
