Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Trust Pilot and others), adding 1.4 MB and 835 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 391 ms
391 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 391 ms of main-thread work and 512 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
362 KiBAbout 362 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 274 ms
274 msShopify costs a phone 274 ms of main-thread work and 643 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.
1,850 HTML elements
The page has 1,850 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
162 KiB3 images could be 162 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
91 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (91 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
20 KiB20 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
