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
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 345 KiBAbout 345 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 261 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (261 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. 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 (ContentSquare, Osano CMP and Klaviyo and others), adding 679 KiB and 584 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 174 KiB13 images could be 174 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 154 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).
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 286 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 286 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (58), scripts 964 KiB (81) and other files 832 KiB (126). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Web_JPG-0568_Sun-Shower-Coverall_Midnight-Blue_Oakridge-21.j 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).
1 image far larger than shown
17 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Web_JPG-0568_Sun-Shower-Coverall_Midnight-Blue_Oakridge-21.j at 1,300 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 17 KiB.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 148.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Every image has alt text

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
