Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 142 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (142 KiB).
2,433 HTML elements
The page has 2,433 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Improve image delivery
78 KiB4 images could be 78 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, datadoghq-browser-agent.com and shop.app and others), adding 554 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 77 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 30 ms
30 msYour server sent the HTML in 30 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s
7.5 sYour largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Bathroom scene with a bathtub, towel, and wooden stool.”.
Time to Interactive: 7.5 s
7.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 34% slower for real visitors
+34%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 183 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
ON-M-Home-Slider_1_5c8863fd-20dc-419c-937e-1cee3722f9e2.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image in older formats
1 image (35 KiB) is 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.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.46 g of CO₂e: 55.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 102 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 102 requests on a phone: scripts 874 KiB (55), images 435 KiB (9) and HTML 170 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h3 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
