Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 540 KiBAbout 540 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 424 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (424 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.6 MB and 893 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
603 KiB13 images could be 603 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
hsappstatic.net adds 346 ms
346 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 346 ms of main-thread work and 715 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: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 240 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
61 KiBAbout 61 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Render-blocking requests
50 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 50 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 243 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 243 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (104), images 1.1 MB (21) and other files 694 KiB (88). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (131 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO

Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
