Speed
Improve image delivery
1.7 s · 417 KiB7 images could be 417 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
3,096 HTML elements
The page has 3,096 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
770 ms · 111 KiBAbout 111 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 770 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 71 KiBAbout 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
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 111 ms
111 msKlaviyo costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.
Shopify adds 92 ms
92 msShopify costs a phone 92 ms of main-thread work and 371 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 (Clarity, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 814 KiB and 342 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 112 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 KiB7 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.

Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.7 s
17.7 sYour largest element takes 17.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 18.1 s
18.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 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.
3 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 130 ms
130 msScripts block the page for only 130 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 301 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 301 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (33), scripts 928 KiB (126) and other files 916 KiB (123). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Crop_3.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 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.

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
