arctix.com website review

About 560 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 4,067 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (bc-solutions.net, Google Tag Manager and iubenda and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

6 images could be 704 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (165 KiB).

bc-solutions.net costs a phone 450 ms of main-thread work and 284 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 costs a phone 368 ms of main-thread work and 479 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.

About 74 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

iubenda costs a phone 219 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 costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 301 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

58 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 24.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “With respect to advertising, we and 2 selected third partie…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 24.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 6.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 357 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 186 ms to 187 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 9.1 MB in 410 requests on a phone: images 5.3 MB (68), scripts 2.2 MB (122) and other files 1,001 KiB (168). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

6 images further down the page (806 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example AHP_2023_Arctix_edits-45.jpg at 1,067 px wide, shown at 240 px. Resized copies would save about 362 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.58 g of CO₂e: 310.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

20 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Interactive controls must not be nested: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

3 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Arctix - High Quality Winter Clothing, Snow Wear for Kids, Men, Women”.

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//arctix.com/cdn/shop/t/149/assets/arctix.png?v=1715000…”.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 148 pages on arctix.com and 22 external pages.

/collections/new-arrivals and /collections/pants-shorts have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/collections/mens, /collections/mens/Jackets-&-Vests, /collections/mens/bib and /collections/mens/Footwear use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 8 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/mens/Jackets-&-Vests, whose canonical is /collections/mens. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/collections/mens, /collections/new-arrivals, /collections/mens/Jackets-&-Vests, /collections/pants-shorts, /collections/mens/bib and /collections/base-layer and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 70 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343104973&Ver=2&mid=93d30b44-ee7d-44dd-a6be-91db2d4dabaf&bo=1&sid=c45afa00dbb611f18f7e1111eacd2e22&vid=c45b38c0dbb611f1ba1f9f38749564be&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

6 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

4 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://arctix.aftership.com/ (404).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.facebook.com/pages/Arctix/176509532374302.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

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.

arctix.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.

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.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,065 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (iubenda) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 55 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
