Render-blocking requests
1.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 7.5 s
A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6,269 HTML elements
The page has 6,269 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 (figpii.com, route.com and Shopify and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
858 KiBAbout 858 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
820 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (820 KiB).
figpii.com adds 759 ms
759 msfigpii.com costs a phone 759 ms of main-thread work and 52 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.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 65 KiB2 images could be 65 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
route.com adds 213 ms
213 msroute.com costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 542 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 208 ms
208 msShopify costs a phone 208 ms of main-thread work and 587 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 258 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
32 KiB32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
