Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
860 ms · 273 KiBAbout 273 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 860 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 141 ms
141 msKlaviyo costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and userway.org and others), adding 585 KiB and 403 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
12 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12 KiB).
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.

3.3 sYour largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Blocked by mistake? You can verify your real location. Your…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 49.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 123 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (78), fonts 216 KiB (6) and stylesheets 81 KiB (14). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
25 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 27 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 25 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 46 words
The homepage has only about 46 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
7 checks passed
