Speed
Google Tag Manager adds 1.0 s
1.0 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 698 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.6 s
A phone's processor spends 8.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, preordernowapp.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.0 MB and 3.7 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 953 ms
953 msShopify costs a phone 953 ms of main-thread work and 627 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.
preordernowapp.com adds 970 ms
970 mspreordernowapp.com costs a phone 970 ms of main-thread work and 78 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 JavaScript
796 KiBAbout 796 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 653 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
rebuyengine.com adds 267 ms
267 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 267 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
2,332 HTML elements
The page has 2,332 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
164 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (164 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
71 KiB71 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
