Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 329 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (usabaseballshop.com, Shopify and 51.la and others), adding 416 KiB and 393 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
80 KiBAbout 80 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
70 KiB3 images could be 70 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
