Speed
Main-thread work: 7.2 s
A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 66). 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 (Shopify, Google CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 703 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Shopify adds 302 ms
302 msShopify costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 826 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
276 KiBAbout 276 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google CDN adds 218 ms
218 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
2,392 HTML elements
The page has 2,392 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
231 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (231 KiB).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 153 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
60 KiBAbout 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
38 KiB2 images could be 38 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 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.

208 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 208 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 464 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 464 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (191), other files 1.1 MB (226) and images 447 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Layer_Up_Made_Here.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 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.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected

No direct contact details

No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 607 words of copy
The homepage carries about 607 words of visible text.
