Speed

3 to fix75
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 93). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 96 KiB

    5 images could be 96 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (omnisnippet1.com, Google CDN and Shopify and others), adding 347 KiB and 133 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    89 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (89 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    66 KiB

    About 66 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 451 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 31 ms

    31 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 31 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Your largest element takes 5.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 103 ms to 88 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

10 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 91 ms

    91 ms

    Real visitors wait 91 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 367 ms

    367 ms

    Real visitors wait 367 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix98
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    ac-slider-test-mobile.png 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).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (37 KiB) is 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (27 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.43 g of CO₂e: 52.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 144 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 144 requests on a phone: other files 737 KiB (87), scripts 410 KiB (39) and images 266 KiB (9). That is a lean page.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8489
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (2 elements)

    <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 8 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9277
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “Adam's Cloud”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 5 links with vague text

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

  • 45 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on adamscloud.com and 9 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 116 characters

    Your meta description is 116 characters: “Adam's Cloud is a Collection of Children's Books. Incredibly Illustrated, Inspiring, Rhyming and Full of Adventures.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.adamscloud.com/.

  • 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.adamscloud.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (626 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

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /blogs/news has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    /collections/adams-cloud-all, /collections/books-1, /blogs/news, /pages/the-adams-cloud-book-age-guide, /pages/christening-gifts and /pages/fun-stuff and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 12 small tap targets

    12 of 45 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (adamscloud.com).

  • Valid certificate (78 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for adamscloud.com and is valid for another 78 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://adamscloud.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 31 links work

    All 31 links checked from your homepage (26 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    adamscloud.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 17 years old

    17 years

    adamscloud.com was registered in Mar 2009 through Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only globalsign.com, digicert.com, ssl.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for adamscloud.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Mar 2030

    adamscloud.com is registered until Mar 2030.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 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 633 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 633 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop” and “Benji's Book Readings”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Benji's Book Readings” and “Contact Us”.

  • 9 short forms

    9 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 5 customer or partner logos.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be adamscloud.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mailgun.org -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “smtp”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
