Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 781 KiBAbout 781 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 280 KiB10 images could be 280 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, postscript.io and reamaze.com and others), adding 7.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 507 KiB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (507 KiB).
Shopify adds 109 ms
109 msShopify costs a phone 109 ms of main-thread work and 5.7 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 587 ms
587 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 587 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
postscript.io adds 290 ms
290 mspostscript.io costs a phone 290 ms of main-thread work and 490 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 332 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,372 HTML elements
The page has 2,372 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Duplicated JavaScript
150 ms · 72 KiB72 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

SEO
