Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 758 KiBAbout 758 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Affirm and Yotpo and others), adding 1.7 MB and 884 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 404 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (404 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 193 ms
193 msKlaviyo costs a phone 193 ms of main-thread work and 385 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.
1,869 HTML elements
The page has 1,869 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
bevycommerce.com adds 100 ms
100 msbevycommerce.com costs a phone 100 ms of main-thread work and 373 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 132 KiB132 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 119 KiB7 images could be 119 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
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 CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 453 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 453 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (93), other files 1.3 MB (272) and images 558 KiB (35). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
rustic-classics-home-page.jpg 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).
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.11 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.11 g of CO₂e: 132.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 686 words of copy
The homepage carries about 686 words of visible text.
