Render-blocking requests
2.4 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Improve image delivery
652 KiB16 images could be 652 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 135 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (135 KiB).
2,965 HTML elements
The page has 2,965 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 13 ms
13 msShopify costs a phone 13 ms of main-thread work and 351 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, truevaultcdn.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 553 KiB and 13 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
43 KiBAbout 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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 CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 149 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 149 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (50), scripts 672 KiB (53) and stylesheets 150 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
01Main-Banner-Desktop_74977-008_1920x660_1.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 (121 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 60 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,838 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
