Speed
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 3.0 MB8 images could be 3.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.3 s · 979 KiB37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (979 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 643 KiBAbout 643 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. 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 (Optanon, Klaviyo and Hubspot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 793 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 303 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Optanon adds 248 ms
248 msOptanon costs a phone 248 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.
Klaviyo adds 178 ms
178 msKlaviyo costs a phone 178 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
1,697 HTML elements
The page has 1,697 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 55 KiBAbout 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
50 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
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.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof

Only about 7 words
The homepage has only about 7 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
