One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,914 HTML elements
The page has 3,914 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.1 MB and 912 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 457 KiBAbout 457 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Shopify adds 498 ms
498 msShopify costs a phone 498 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
azurefd.net adds 73 ms
73 msazurefd.net costs a phone 73 ms of main-thread work and 329 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
173 KiB13 images could be 173 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 162 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
30 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
27 KiBAbout 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
21 KiB21 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 588 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (188), other files 1.6 MB (316) and images 640 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

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 map or directions link
