Speed
3,824 HTML elements
The page has 3,824 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 83
83/100Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 378 KiB10 images could be 378 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, Clarity and Shopify and others), adding 584 KiB and 256 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 195 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (195 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
144 KiBAbout 144 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 81 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
