Speed
Main-thread work: 5.1 s
A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 190 KiB6 images could be 190 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 71 KiBAbout 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
2,796 HTML elements
The page has 2,796 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 173 ms
173 msShopify costs a phone 173 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 615 KiB and 473 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 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).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
30 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.6 s
9.6 sYour largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 13.9 s
13.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 349 ms
349 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 349 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 4.1 s
4.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 271 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 271 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (33), scripts 799 KiB (119) and other files 762 KiB (102). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Crop_3_cb2c4d82-9bc3-4d6b-917b-7bfc32c3873c.png 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No map or directions link
