Speed

8 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.6 s · 480 KiB

    About 480 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.2 s · 594 KiB

    12 images could be 594 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    480 ms · 151 KiB

    About 151 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (zbcdn.net, zotabox.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.0 MB and 502 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • zotabox.com adds 177 ms

    177 ms

    zotabox.com costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 530 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 709 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    31 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (31 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

    Your largest element takes 13.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 121 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 145 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 145 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (56), images 786 KiB (20) and other files 612 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    migration.1.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8387
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 19 images without alt text

    19 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8586
  • Title is long (127 characters)

    Your title is 127 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Shopify Experts | Website Design, POS & Migrations | 2 Friends Designs – 2 Friends Design…”.

  • Meta description is long (203 characters)

    Your meta description is 203 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 63 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 63 pages on 2friendsdesigns.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Shopify Experts Helping Businesses Grow Online”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.2friendsdesigns.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.2friendsdesigns.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (477 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.2friendsdesigns.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion

1 to fix80
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 328 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 328 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Call us! 541.654.4199”, “SHOPIFY SHOP APP SETUP” and “START YOUR PROJECT”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at 2friendsdesigns.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Holiday Snowfall · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Christmas Snowfall Effect · zotabox.com · hulkapps.com · saccodigital.com
