Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.8 s · 866 KiBAbout 866 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Shopify and others), adding 7.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
950 ms · 384 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (384 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.2 MB23 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 94 ms
94 msShopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 6.7 MB 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 629 ms
629 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 629 ms of main-thread work and 691 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.
Legacy JavaScript
500 ms · 75 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 75 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,958 HTML elements
The page has 1,958 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 179 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 JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Speed Index: 12.3 s
12.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 636 ms

Real-user FCP: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 171 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user CLS: 0.00

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 21.5 MB in 289 requests
21.5 MBYour homepage downloads 21.5 MB in 289 requests on a phone: media 14.2 MB (2), images 4.0 MB (69) and scripts 1.9 MB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
TOAST-WEB-NovemberLaunch-WW-10_b1955b4a-6e81-4a42-8220-eed92 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).
4 images in older formats
4 images (306 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 6.1 g of CO₂ per visit
6.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.09 g of CO₂e: 730.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 buttons without a name
7 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (6 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h3 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
