alienweaponry.store does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
4.3 s · 6.3 MB13 images could be 6.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.
3,076 HTML elements
The page has 3,076 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 419 KiBAbout 419 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.1 MB and 535 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 154 ms
154 msShopify costs a phone 154 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 MB 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: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 112 ms
112 msKlaviyo costs a phone 112 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
245 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (245 KiB).
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.3 s
9.3 sYour largest element takes 9.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 23.9 s

Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 29% slower for real visitors
+29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 105 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.9 MB in 310 requests
9.9 MBYour homepage downloads 9.9 MB in 310 requests on a phone: images 7.5 MB (37), scripts 1.3 MB (81) and other files 962 KiB (156). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
AW_Te_Ra_Logo.png weighs 763 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
682 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example AW_Te_Ra_Logo.png at 2,300 px wide, shown at 250 px. Resized copies would save about 682 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (763 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.82 g of CO₂e: 337.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
50 text elements with low contrast
50 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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 (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 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: 50 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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.
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 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 280 words of copy
The homepage carries about 280 words of visible text.
2 checks passed

Email authentication
No DMARC policy
alienweaponry.store 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.
SPF does not block other senders (?all)
Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com ?all”.
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.
Domain receives no email
alienweaponry.store has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 25/100
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.
