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
Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
280 KiBAbout 280 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Shopify adds 207 ms
207 msShopify costs a phone 207 ms of main-thread work and 525 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: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 756 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google CDN adds 184 ms
184 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
1,736 HTML elements
The page has 1,736 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, Google CDN and Mailchimp and others), adding 958 KiB and 406 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 112 KiB3 images could be 112 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
60 ms · 27 KiBAbout 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 60 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
58 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (58 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.
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.

1 image without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 236 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 236 requests on a phone: other files 1,023 KiB (125), scripts 670 KiB (73) and images 394 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
vmac-brooklyn-camper-vans.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h4 → h6 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 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: 48 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Other pages
1 page without a title

6 pages without a meta description
