Speed
Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 325 KiB22 images could be 325 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,851 HTML elements
The page has 2,851 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 807 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 84 ms
84 msShopify costs a phone 84 ms of main-thread work and 294 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 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (FullStory, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 916 KiB and 282 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
154 KiBAbout 154 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
133 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (133 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Page weight: 2.6 MB in 241 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 241 requests on a phone: scripts 947 KiB (88), images 721 KiB (27) and other files 680 KiB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 89.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
