afcase.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Main-thread work: 7.6 s
A phone's processor spends 7.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,369 HTML elements
The page has 5,369 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 2.0 MB and 948 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
898 KiBAbout 898 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Shopify adds 201 ms
201 msShopify costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 727 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 230 ms
230 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.
Google CDN adds 180 ms
180 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 180 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
automizely.com adds 114 ms
114 msautomizely.com costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 412 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.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 177 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
73 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (73 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
26 KiBAbout 26 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Improve image delivery
5 KiB1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Time to Interactive: 20.6 s
20.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.6 s
11.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 602 ms
602 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 602 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.12
0.12For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.5 s).
12 images without width and height
12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 390 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 390 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (153), other files 853 KiB (144) and stylesheets 165 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets (1 element)
Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
31 text elements with low contrast
31 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
10 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 66 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
12 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 14 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 12 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://afcase.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness

/collections/apple-phone-case, /collections/samsung-phone-case, /collections/google-pixel, /collections/apple-ipad-case, /collections/samsung-tab-case and /collections/airpods-case and 8 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
9 pages without an H1
/collections/apple-phone-case, /collections/samsung-phone-case, /collections/google-pixel, /collections/apple-ipad-case, /apps/parcelpanel and /collections/best-seller and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Security and trust
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.

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 (afcase.com).
Valid certificate (51 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for afcase.com and is valid for another 51 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://afcase.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 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 11 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
afcase.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
afcase.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.
2 checks passed

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 25 words
The homepage has only about 25 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
5 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Track My Order”, “Contact Us” and “Join Us”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
afcase.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 35/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.mail.qq.com ~all”.
