Speed
Main-thread work: 21.3 s
A phone's processor spends 21.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,502 HTML elements
The page has 5,502 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 2.0 MB and 968 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 103 KiBAbout 103 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
399 KiBAbout 399 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Klaviyo adds 338 ms
338 msKlaviyo costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 412 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.
Shopify adds 247 ms
247 msShopify costs a phone 247 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
azurefd.net adds 116 ms
116 msazurefd.net costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 214 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
196 KiB9 images could be 196 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
35 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 566 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 566 requests on a phone: other files 1.7 MB (276), scripts 1.5 MB (208) and images 1.3 MB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
36 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example thumbnail.jpg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 223 px. Resized copies would save about 36 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (58 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.46 g of CO₂e: 174.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings should not be empty (3 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 2 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.
223 internal links, 12 external

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 2,814 words of copy
The homepage carries about 2,814 words of visible text.
