Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 160 KiBAbout 160 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (faire.com, Shopify and POWr and others), adding 1.1 MB and 525 ms of main-thread time.
faire.com adds 350 ms
350 msfaire.com costs a phone 350 ms of main-thread work and 713 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 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 268 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 953 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 140 ms
140 msShopify costs a phone 140 ms of main-thread work and 313 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 · 153 KiBAbout 153 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
29 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).
Improve image delivery
26 KiB3 images could be 26 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

SEO
Title is long (78 characters)
Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Serenity Soaps - Handmade Luxury Soaps & Bath Products – Serenity Soaps Canada”.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 94 words
The homepage has only about 94 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
