alstyle.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.8 s · 1.5 MB50 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.8 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
5.6 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 31). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.2 s
A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, VWO and Facebook and others), adding 1.8 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 1.1 MB11 images could be 1.1 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 762 ms
762 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 762 ms of main-thread work and 1,010 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.
VWO adds 720 ms
720 msVWO costs a phone 720 ms of main-thread work and 201 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.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 68 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 68 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 453 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
19 KiBAbout 19 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.

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.
Real-user LCP: 4.1 s
4.1 sReal visitors wait 4.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.28
0.28For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 13.6 s
13.6 sThe first text or image appears after 13.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 26.1 s
26.1 sYour largest element takes 26.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “VIEW HEAVYWEIGHT COLLECTION”.
Time to Interactive: 28.0 s
28.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 28.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 13.9 s
13.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 13.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 327 ms
327 msReal visitors wait 327 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 462 ms
462 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 462 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
14 images without width and height
14 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 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 351 ms to 329 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.098
0.098The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.098, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.2 MB in 197 requests
5.2 MBYour homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 197 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (77), images 2.1 MB (35) and other files 104 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images in older formats
8 images (1.4 MB) 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (794 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.47 g of CO₂e: 176.8 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
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (5 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (2 elements)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters
Your meta description is 156 characters: “Discover American Apparel Wholesale t-shirts and other blank American Apparel for your iconic premium basics with innov…”.
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.americanapparel.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
1 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.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://count.advanseads.com/pixel.php?adv_aud_id=10754&adv_pid=[PRODUCT_ID_HERE]&adv_cid=[CATEGORY_ID_HERE]&adv_bid=[PRODUCT_ID_FOUND_IN_CART].
29 small tap targets
29 of 51 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (americanapparel.com).
Valid certificate (88 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for alstyle.com and is valid for another 88 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://alstyle.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
americanapparel.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
americanapparel.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
Domain is 28 years old
28 yearsamericanapparel.com was registered in Apr 1998 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2028
americanapparel.com is registered until Apr 2028.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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.
Only about 121 words
The homepage has only about 121 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Reddit Pixel and The Trade Desk (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
28 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
