Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 603 KiBAbout 603 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 334 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,710 HTML elements
The page has 1,710 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
ctfassets.net adds 0 ms
0 msctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and ctfassets.net), adding 650 KiB and 177 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
69 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (69 KiB).
Improve image delivery
67 KiB4 images could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
45 KiBAbout 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 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.

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
W26-STD-ANNOUNCE-RETAIL_DIGITAL_BANNERS-D2C-STATIC-ENUS-NO_R 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
