1.2 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 137 ms
137 msShopify costs a phone 137 ms of main-thread work and 572 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 229 KiB7 images could be 229 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shop.app and myshopify.com), adding 631 KiB and 142 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
83 KiBAbout 83 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
17 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 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.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
