Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 533 KiBAbout 533 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 249 KiB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (249 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Mailchimp and others), adding 1.3 MB and 610 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 180 KiB5 images could be 180 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 33 KiBAbout 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 226 ms
226 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 226 ms of main-thread work and 475 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 189 ms
189 msShopify costs a phone 189 ms of main-thread work and 527 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 868 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,922 HTML elements
The page has 1,922 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 201 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (70), other files 691 KiB (87) and images 596 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

37 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 1793796245003a.png at 2,172 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 37 KiB.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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

Security, domain, email and software versions
