One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.7 s · 300 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (300 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 323 KiBAbout 323 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 880 KiB20 images could be 880 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (amaicdn.com, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 3.6 MB and 311 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Shopify adds 37 ms
37 msShopify costs a phone 37 ms of main-thread work and 3.1 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.
amaicdn.com adds 258 ms
258 msamaicdn.com costs a phone 258 ms of main-thread work and 420 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 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,638 HTML elements
The page has 1,638 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.3 s
9.3 sYour largest element takes 9.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.504
0.504The layout shifts by 0.504 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 9.5 s
9.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.9 s
5.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 212 ms
212 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 212 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.5 MB in 163 requests
9.5 MBYour homepage downloads 9.5 MB in 163 requests on a phone: media 6.6 MB (1), images 1.4 MB (27) and scripts 751 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (234 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit
2.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.69 g of CO₂e: 323.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
