Speed
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,063 HTML elements
The page has 3,063 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82. 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 (Shopify, shop.app and staq-cdn.com and others), adding 2.0 MB and 433 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 409 ms
409 msShopify costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
414 KiBAbout 414 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 85 KiBAbout 85 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.
Improve image delivery
315 KiB9 images could be 315 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
12 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12 KiB).
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.
