Speed

10 to fix59
  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 1.3 MB

    26 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 331 KiB

    About 331 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    3 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 (Klaviyo, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.2 MB and 407 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    410 ms · 61 KiB

    About 61 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 410 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 851 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 184 ms

    184 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 517 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.

  • 2,151 HTML elements

    The page has 2,151 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 147 ms

    147 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 147 ms of main-thread work and 471 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 22 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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.

  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 45.4 MB in 206 requests

    45.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 45.4 MB in 206 requests on a phone: media 40.9 MB (16), images 2.6 MB (46) and scripts 812 KiB (87). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    sdb-hero-mobile-v21.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).

  • 7 images far larger than shown

    324 KiB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example homepage-tile-shorts-v3.jpg at 600 px wide, shown at 117 px. Resized copies would save about 324 KiB.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (205 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 12.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 12.88 g of CO₂e: 1545.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 50 form fields without a label

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