Speed
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 459 KiB10 images could be 459 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
4,442 HTML elements
The page has 4,442 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
317 KiBAbout 317 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 698 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 200 ms
200 msShopify costs a phone 200 ms of main-thread work and 793 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.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, nfcube.com and shop.app), adding 906 KiB and 224 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 52 KiBAbout 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 59 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
31 KiB31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
11 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).
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.

Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.2 s
8.2 sYour largest element takes 8.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 12.1 s
12.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.8 s
4.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s
1.3 sThe first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.035
0.035The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.035, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 9 ms
9 msScripts block the page for only 9 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 309 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 309 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (36), scripts 923 KiB (145) and other files 824 KiB (111). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
cherry_blossom_earrings_being_unpacked.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (195 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 137.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Hidden but focusable
33 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.
50 links without text
50 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h3 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 65 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 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: 52 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
1 page without a meta description

Your homepage links to 15 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.ariasdesignco.com/en-us/collections/all-earrings, whose canonical is https://www.ariasdesignco.com/collections/all-earrings.

Content and conversion
