Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 935 KiBAbout 935 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.5 s · 504 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (504 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. 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 (alia-prod.com, cloudfront.net and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
550 ms · 77 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 77 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
alia-prod.com adds 349 ms
349 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 470 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
cloudfront.net adds 209 ms
209 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 553 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.
Shopify adds 118 ms
118 msShopify costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 398 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
250 ms · 71 KiB6 images could be 71 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 168 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
140 ms · 13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
120 ms · 12 KiB12 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.

3 images in older formats
