One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
3,480 HTML elements
The page has 3,480 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 2.7 MB24 images could be 2.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 67). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.2 MB and 707 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
120 ms · 415 KiBAbout 415 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
420 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 161 ms
161 msShopify costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 566 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.
Klaviyo adds 146 ms
146 msKlaviyo costs a phone 146 ms of main-thread work and 321 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
150 ms · 31 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (31 KiB).
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
32 KiB32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
1 KiB1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

2 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 35.0 MB in 434 requests
35.0 MBYour homepage downloads 35.0 MB in 434 requests on a phone: media 26.4 MB (3), images 5.6 MB (60) and other files 1.4 MB (219). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (318 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (182 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 9.9 g of CO₂ per visit
9.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 9.93 g of CO₂e: 1191.2 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
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.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
201 links without text
201 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (174 characters)
Your meta description is 174 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
547 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 547 pages on alpkit.com and 14 external pages.

Content and conversion
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 578 words of copy
