Speed
Main-thread work: 8.5 s
A phone's processor spends 8.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 902 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,507 HTML elements
The page has 5,507 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
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
650 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and shop.app and others), adding 2.7 MB and 235 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 116 ms
116 msShopify costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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 Fonts adds 1 ms
1 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 305 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 87 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 26 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26 KiB).
Improve image delivery
66 KiB3 images could be 66 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
61 KiBAbout 61 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 214 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 214 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (26), scripts 589 KiB (123) and fonts 579 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
BF-Hero-3.png 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).
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

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.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

Every image has alt text

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

No call to action on the first screen

No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
