Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 982 KiB and 818 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 138 KiB6 images could be 138 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 423 KiBAbout 423 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 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.
2,914 HTML elements
The page has 2,914 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 188 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (188 KiB).
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
59 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
32 KiB32 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 278 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 278 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (98), other files 783 KiB (108) and images 731 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
hero_mobile.png 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).
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.87 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
