Speed
10,498 HTML elements
The page has 10,498 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 7.1 s
A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.5 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. 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 (PayPal, Facebook and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 851 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
521 KiBAbout 521 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
451 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (451 KiB).
Shopify adds 190 ms
190 msShopify costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 543 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.
Improve image delivery
189 KiB8 images could be 189 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
