Speed

11 to fix41
  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 73). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,143 HTML elements

    The page has 5,143 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (accessibilityassistant.com, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • accessibilityassistant.com adds 793 ms

    793 ms

    accessibilityassistant.com costs a phone 793 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 436 KiB

    About 436 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 603 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 400 ms

    400 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 400 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.

  • Shopify adds 320 ms

    320 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 320 ms of main-thread work and 427 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    274 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (274 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    201 KiB

    7 images could be 201 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    About 19 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.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 73 but mobile only 41. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 78 ms

    78 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 78 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 11.9 s

    11.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.0 s

    16.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Your largest element takes 6.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Total Blocking Time: 923 ms

    923 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 923 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 36% slower for real visitors

    +36%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 157 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 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: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 149 ms

    149 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: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 598 ms

    598 ms

    Real visitors wait 598 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 208 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 208 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (69), images 901 KiB (25) and other files 778 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.99 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

    Document should not have more than one banner 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.

  • 29 links without text

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

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 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 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10088
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“add” and “add”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON at position 1)”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 127 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 127 pages on add.it and 2 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Discover add's premium outerwear collection for men, women and kids. Lightweight jackets and timeless designs combining…”.

  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “add: Premium outerwear for men, women & kids”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.add.it/.

  • robots.txt in place

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.add.it/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (934 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

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://d2wxjc6j9nkzwl.cloudfront.net/styles/simple.css' from origin 'https://www.add.it' …”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    215 of 241 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.add.it/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

  • 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 (add.it).

  • Valid certificate (40 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for add.it and is valid for another 40 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://add.it 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 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

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

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 1,164 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,164 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.

  • 136 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be add.it is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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 a:hybrid.comeiandco.com ip4:51.136.26.151 ip4:135.125.98.79 ip4:85.159.144.0/22 include:spf.sendinblue.com inclu…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2”, “default” and “mail”), 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 Klaviyo (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
