Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 912 KiB and 978 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 408 ms
408 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 408 ms of main-thread work and 335 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.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
297 KiBAbout 297 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 254 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
74 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (74 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
16 KiBAbout 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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 JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 248 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 248 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (91), other files 817 KiB (106) and fonts 181 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
15 text elements with low contrast
15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

6 images without alt text

All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

Headings skip levels

A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
