Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 508 KiBAbout 508 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,539 HTML elements
The page has 3,539 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 Yotpo and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 621 KiB14 images could be 621 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 333 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).
Shopify adds 540 ms
540 msShopify costs a phone 540 ms of main-thread work and 873 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
310 ms · 123 KiBAbout 123 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 253 ms
253 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 253 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.
Yotpo adds 229 ms
229 msYotpo costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 403 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 133 ms
133 msKlaviyo costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 391 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 188 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 6.1 MB in 331 requests
6.1 MBYour homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 331 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (134), fonts 1.6 MB (14) and images 1.3 MB (46). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (41 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.73 g of CO₂e: 207.1 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
40 text elements with low contrast
40 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), 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 62 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
/pages/offer-details, /collections/black-friday-deals, /pages/loyalty, /collections/collection-showcase, /collections/dining and /collections/sale and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
