Speed
Main-thread work: 14.8 s
A phone's processor spends 14.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 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, Clarity and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 4.5 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 609 KiBAbout 609 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 522 ms
522 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 522 ms of main-thread work and 703 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 156 ms
156 msShopify costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 3.4 MB 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.
Clarity adds 386 ms
386 msClarity costs a phone 386 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
2,803 HTML elements
The page has 2,803 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 205 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
141 KiB6 images could be 141 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
87 KiBAbout 87 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
33 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name

Hidden but focusable
22 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
