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, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,807 HTML elements
The page has 4,807 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 731 KiBAbout 731 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.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 849 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
341 KiB14 images could be 341 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Klaviyo adds 229 ms
229 msKlaviyo costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 505 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.
LoyaltyLion adds 53 ms
53 msLoyaltyLion costs a phone 53 ms of main-thread work and 370 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
200 ms · 36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 150 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (150 KiB).
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 193 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Duplicated JavaScript
39 KiB39 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 3.9 MB in 353 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 353 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (143), images 1.0 MB (44) and other files 887 KiB (125). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 131.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
18 tap targets too small
18 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
22 links without text
22 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (12 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 240 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
