One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.2 s · 950 KiBAbout 950 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.2 s · 415 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (415 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Facebook and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 4.4 MB and 813 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
YouTube adds 374 ms
374 msYouTube costs a phone 374 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 48 KiB3 images could be 48 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Unpkg adds 2 ms
2 msUnpkg costs a phone 2 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 178 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 178 requests on a phone: scripts 4.3 MB (67), other files 703 KiB (80) and images 193 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.8 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
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.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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.
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 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“<div class="logo__image-wrapper"> <img src="//ami…” and “TOUR”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
45 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 45 pages on amitymerch.com and 12 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 111 characters
Your meta description is 111 characters: “Official Merchandise for the Australian metalcore band, The Amity Affliction. Shop Music, Tees, Hoodies & More!”.
Title: 32 characters
Your title is a healthy 32 characters: “The Amity Affliction Merchandise”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://amitymerch.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://amitymerch.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 https://amitymerch.com/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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (322 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://amitymerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://amitymerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://amitymerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://amitymerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
Linked pages load
1 page of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

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 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.

8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
