Render-blocking requests

Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,210 HTML elements
The page has 3,210 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
1.0 MB21 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (searchatlas.com, Google Tag Manager and naviplus.app and others), adding 1.7 MB and 855 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
743 KiBAbout 743 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 193 ms
193 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 193 ms of main-thread work and 328 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.
Shopify adds 99 ms
99 msShopify costs a phone 99 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.
tidio.co adds 75 ms
75 mstidio.co costs a phone 75 ms of main-thread work and 515 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 · 91 KiBAbout 91 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
208 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (208 KiB).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 128 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
15 KiB15 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify CSS
