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
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,160 HTML elements
The page has 3,160 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. 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, Klaviyo and avada.io and others), adding 937 KiB and 893 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 491 KiB17 images could be 491 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.
Shopify adds 487 ms
487 msShopify costs a phone 487 ms of main-thread work and 436 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.
Klaviyo adds 255 ms
255 msKlaviyo costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 283 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
29 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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: 3.9 MB in 265 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 265 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (38), scripts 897 KiB (113) and other files 773 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (197 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (131 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 131.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
