Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 213 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (213 KiB).
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 341 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 521 KiB4 images could be 521 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
1,888 HTML elements
The page has 1,888 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Shopify and Mailchimp and others), adding 300 KiB and 190 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 111 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 144 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 144 requests on a phone: images 4.9 MB (72), scripts 477 KiB (45) and other files 457 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
slider-mobile-signaturexyuanyuan.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).
2 images in older formats
2 images (136 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (104 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 105 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (163 characters)
Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
208 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 208 pages on abacusrow.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 45 characters
Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “Abacus Row | Handmade Jewelry | San Francisco”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.abacusrow.com/.
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.abacusrow.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (925 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
/collections/ready-to-ship-abacus-row, /collections/gift-card, /collections/limited-edition, /collections/wraps, /collections/alluvial-collection and /collections/big-heart-collection and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/collections has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages slow to respond
/collections/wraps, /collections, /collections/alluvial-collection and /collections/basics took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

2 checks passed
No console errors

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 267 words of copy
The homepage carries about 267 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

11 other companies contacted

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 abacusrow.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
