Speed
Main-thread work: 9.9 s
A phone's processor spends 9.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,869 HTML elements
The page has 5,869 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, Azure Web Services and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 757 ms
757 msShopify costs a phone 757 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
488 KiBAbout 488 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 89 KiBAbout 89 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 55 KiB5 images could be 55 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
160 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (160 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
150 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
43 KiB43 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
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.

2 tap targets too small

1 form field without a label

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details

Only about 15 words
The homepage has only about 15 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No risk reducer
