Speed
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
292 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (292 KiB).
2,509 HTML elements
The page has 2,509 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 995 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
cartcoders.com adds 94 ms
94 mscartcoders.com costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 411 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (cartcoders.com, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and others), adding 854 KiB and 289 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 172 KiB10 images could be 172 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
90 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 212 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
90 ms · 11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 217 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 217 requests on a phone: scripts 858 KiB (61), other files 799 KiB (101) and images 535 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
web-top-product-section-fg-cleats.jpg 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).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (24 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 82.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
