Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.2 s · 559 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (559 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 582 KiBAbout 582 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (helply.com, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.5 MB and 710 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 211 KiB6 images could be 211 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 161 ms
161 msShopify costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
2,621 HTML elements
The page has 2,621 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
helply.com adds 202 ms
202 mshelply.com costs a phone 202 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.
Klaviyo adds 133 ms
133 msKlaviyo costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 369 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 · 53 KiBAbout 53 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 142 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Time to Interactive: 18.0 s
18.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 302 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 302 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (115), other files 1.1 MB (142) and images 955 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
9 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example popashot-home-dual-shot-white-front_1440x1440.jpg at 520 px wide, shown at 163 px. Resized copies would save about 9 KiB.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (211 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
10 links without text
10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
