Speed

4 to fix74
  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    440 ms · 95 KiB

    About 95 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 440 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

  • 1,557 HTML elements

    The page has 1,557 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Key CDN and others), adding 241 KiB and 148 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    140 ms · 17 KiB

    About 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 148 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    126 KiB

    4 images could be 126 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 389 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 107 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 107 requests on a phone: images 700 KiB (15), other files 603 KiB (54) and scripts 387 KiB (32). That is a lean page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 6 other companies contacted
