Render-blocking requests
1.4 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 8.0 s
A phone's processor spends 8.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7,160 HTML elements
The page has 7,160 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, YouTube and Shopify and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 574 KiB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (574 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 266 KiBAbout 266 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 582 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
YouTube adds 349 ms
349 msYouTube costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 1,016 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.
ZenDesk adds 383 ms
383 msZenDesk costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 483 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.
Shopify adds 192 ms
192 msShopify costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 645 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 42 KiB42 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
9 KiB1 image could be 9 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

SEO

No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
