Speed
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.5 s
A phone's processor spends 8.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6,760 HTML elements
The page has 6,760 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
4.0 MB61 images could be 4.0 MB 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 (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Facebook and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 1,011 KiB56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1,011 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 442 ms
442 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 442 ms of main-thread work and 524 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.
Klaviyo adds 260 ms
260 msKlaviyo costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 612 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
150 ms · 105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 221 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
72 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 72 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
27 KiB27 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 31.2 MB in 528 requests
31.2 MBYour homepage downloads 31.2 MB in 528 requests on a phone: images 13.9 MB (121), media 12.8 MB (2) and scripts 3.0 MB (165). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images far larger than shown
562 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example DRESSES.jpg at 1,024 px wide, shown at 22 px. Resized copies would save about 562 KiB.
4 images in older formats
4 images (294 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (104 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 8.8 g of CO₂ per visit
8.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.85 g of CO₂e: 1061.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
12 tap targets too small
12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
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.
37 links without text
37 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), 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. (3 elements).

55 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
