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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 644 KiBAbout 644 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.0 s
A phone's processor spends 7.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,085 HTML elements
The page has 3,085 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Klaviyo and growave.io and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
550 ms · 543 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (543 KiB).
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 418 KiB10 images could be 418 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 392 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 338 ms
338 msFacebook costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 281 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
300 ms · 23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 230 ms
230 msKlaviyo costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 317 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 · 82 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 82 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 21 ms
21 msYour server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 314 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 314 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (111), images 1.3 MB (45) and other files 810 KiB (133). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
2026_11_02_HP_HeroBanner_ChristmasBoutique_DE_M.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).
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.25 g of CO₂e: 149.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (3 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
