Speed
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.0 s
A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,687 HTML elements
The page has 3,687 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 (minmaxify.com, alia-prod.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.0 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 561 KiB9 images could be 561 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
minmaxify.com adds 789 ms
789 msminmaxify.com costs a phone 789 ms of main-thread work and 9 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
750 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
alia-prod.com adds 637 ms
637 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 637 ms of main-thread work and 844 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 543 ms
543 msShopify costs a phone 543 ms of main-thread work and 394 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 JavaScript
150 ms · 343 KiBAbout 343 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
492 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (492 KiB).
Klaviyo adds 278 ms
278 msKlaviyo costs a phone 278 ms of main-thread work and 297 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 298 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 277 ms
277 msFacebook costs a phone 277 ms of main-thread work and 201 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 · 36 KiBAbout 36 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.
Legacy JavaScript
70 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
24 KiB24 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
