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
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,411 HTML elements
The page has 4,411 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and commslayer.com and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
513 KiBAbout 513 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 440 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 370 ms
370 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 370 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.
commslayer.com adds 199 ms
199 mscommslayer.com costs a phone 199 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
Klaviyo adds 189 ms
189 msKlaviyo costs a phone 189 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 69 KiBAbout 69 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 17 KiB17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
80 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (80 KiB).
Improve image delivery
26 KiB4 images could be 26 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Duplicated JavaScript
23 KiB23 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 318 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (95), other files 907 KiB (150) and fonts 319 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link

No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 558 words of copy
The homepage carries about 558 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

28 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
