Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.2 s · 784 KiBAbout 784 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 468 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (468 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 212 ms
212 msKlaviyo costs a phone 212 ms of main-thread work and 521 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 453 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 221 ms
221 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.
1,838 HTML elements
The page has 1,838 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 60 KiB3 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 194 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
50 ms · 37 KiB37 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
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
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 388 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 388 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (141), other files 991 KiB (181) and images 485 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
plug-drink-lp-5c5babd34737c2ca5657_450x.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images in older formats
2 images (204 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.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 145.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
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

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 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.
About 1,805 words of copy
