Speed
hcaptcha.com adds 2.7 s
2.7 shcaptcha.com costs a phone 2.7 s of main-thread work and 2.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.1 s
A phone's processor spends 9.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,662 HTML elements
The page has 4,662 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, Shopify and shop.app and others), adding 4.0 MB and 3.4 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 652 ms
652 msShopify costs a phone 652 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 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
814 KiBAbout 814 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 403 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 237 KiB13 images could be 237 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
170 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (170 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
59 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 59 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.2 MB in 518 requests
6.2 MBYour homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 518 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (290), images 1.0 MB (18) and HTML 1,000 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
4C3670D0-42C3-4C6C-95A9-77577CFA3CF9.png 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 (29 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
