Speed
6,569 HTML elements
The page has 6,569 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 914 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 150 KiB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (150 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
480 ms · 228 KiBAbout 228 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 432 KiB25 images could be 432 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 131 ms
131 msShopify costs a phone 131 ms of main-thread work and 415 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klarna and 506.io and others), adding 1,010 KiB and 376 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
290 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 242 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
90 ms · 21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.
