Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (heatmap.com, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 514 KiB and 515 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
heatmap.com adds 270 ms
270 msheatmap.com costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 94 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
160 KiBAbout 160 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
60 KiB3 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
