Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.2 s · 1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.3 s · 939 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (939 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 1.0 s
1.0 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.5 s
A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and shortcutssoftware.com and others), adding 3.7 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 99 KiBAbout 99 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
590 ms · 58 KiB58 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
590 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Shopify adds 444 ms
444 msShopify costs a phone 444 ms of main-thread work and 825 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
shortcutssoftware.com adds 340 ms
340 msshortcutssoftware.com costs a phone 340 ms of main-thread work and 724 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 349 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
TikTok adds 312 ms
312 msTikTok costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 283 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.
2,684 HTML elements
The page has 2,684 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 157 ms
157 msKlaviyo costs a phone 157 ms of main-thread work and 312 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
150 ms · 74 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 74 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
157 KiB4 images could be 157 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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: 6.3 MB in 530 requests
6.3 MBYour homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 530 requests on a phone: scripts 3.7 MB (149), other files 1.8 MB (305) and images 346 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
PA_4955_Christmas_Phase_01_Digital_17_Website_Banner_W2800xH 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).
1 image far larger than shown
74 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example PA_4955_Christmas_Phase_01_Digital_17_Website_Banner_W2800xH at 2,800 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 74 KiB.
