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
Main-thread work: 11.6 s
A phone's processor spends 11.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
5,240 HTML elements
The page has 5,240 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 Tag Manager and lrkt-in.com and others), adding 2.9 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 843 KiB171 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (843 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 951 KiB41 images could be 951 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.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Shopify adds 498 ms
498 msShopify costs a phone 498 ms of main-thread work and 710 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 382 ms
382 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 697 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 390 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
lrkt-in.com adds 265 ms
265 mslrkt-in.com costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 145 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 198 ms
198 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 198 ms of main-thread work and 558 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.
Klaviyo adds 170 ms
170 msKlaviyo costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 504 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 90 KiBAbout 90 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
67 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 67 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.76 g of CO₂e: 331.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

Accessibility
27 text elements with low contrast
27 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

Hidden but focusable
24 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
