Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. 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 (Klaviyo, Google CDN and Shopify and others), adding 1.5 MB and 457 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
460 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Klaviyo adds 202 ms
202 msKlaviyo costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.
2,237 HTML elements
The page has 2,237 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 105 ms
105 msShopify costs a phone 105 ms of main-thread work and 810 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
150 ms · 151 KiB10 images could be 151 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
140 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 49 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (49 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 475 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 475 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (217), other files 921 KiB (160) and images 629 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (68 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No social proof

No analytics detected

No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 437 words of visible text.
