337KB of unused JavaScript and 37KB of unused CSS are wasting bandwidth and blocking the main thread for 2 seconds.
Use Shopify's Script Tag API to conditionally load the chat widget only when needed. Remove unused CSS from your theme's styles.css file using coverage analysis. Defer Google Analytics and tracking scripts using Shopify's Customer Privacy API to load after user consent.

This Shopify site has poor performance with a score of 54/100, indicating significant issues that need immediate attention. The biggest problem is an enormous network payload of nearly 12MB, primarily caused by a large HD video file (5.3MB) that's loading immediately when the page opens. Additionally, render-blocking CSS files are delaying the initial paint by 110ms, and oversized images are wasting 800KB of bandwidth. The site takes 19 seconds to become fully interactive, which will frustrate users and hurt conversions - optimizing the video delivery, compressing images, and deferring non-critical CSS could easily improve the performance score by 20+ points.
Why It Matters:
A 5.3MB video and oversized images are causing your 12MB page payload, severely impacting LCP (9.8s) and load performance.
How to Fix:
Replace the hero video with a compressed version or poster image using Shopify's image optimization. Resize product images to match display dimensions (317x317 vs 832x832). Enable Shopify's automatic image compression and use responsive image sizing with proper srcset attributes.
Why It Matters:
CSS files are blocking initial page render, delaying both FCP and LCP by 100ms each.
How to Fix:
In your Shopify theme's theme.liquid file, add 'media="print" onload="this.media='all'"' to non-critical CSS links to make them non-blocking. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in the HTML head. Move the portable-wallets CSS to load after page interactive.
