4,404 HTML elements
The page has 4,404 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 813 KiB and 510 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
319 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (319 KiB).
Facebook adds 273 ms
273 msFacebook costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 311 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: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 895 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
120 ms · 190 KiBAbout 190 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
177 KiB3 images could be 177 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
64 KiBAbout 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 202 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (26), scripts 888 KiB (73) and other files 744 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
298 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1_4620f5eb-f0b2-4126-a900-bc5c37da38fe.svg at 730 px wide, shown at 177 px. Resized copies would save about 298 KiB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (268 KiB) are 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.
