Speed

2 to fix91
  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 52 KiB

    About 52 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 17 KiB

    About 17 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.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 56 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 66 KiB and 24 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 91

    91/100

    Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 274 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix88
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Made for everyone. Hand-made jewelry, every piece is one of…”.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.5 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 3 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (55 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 42.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.2 MB in 133 requests

    1.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 133 requests on a phone: other files 758 KiB (90), scripts 237 KiB (30) and images 196 KiB (8). That is a lean page.

  • 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 to fixGoogle 9798
  • <dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements (2 elements)

    <dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 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: 49 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9281
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (18 characters)

    Your title is only 18 characters: “Ayla Grace Jewelry”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 20 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 20 pages on aylagrace.ca and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “<img src="//aylagrace.ca/cdn/shop/t/1/assets/logo.svg?v=124547198069622655241590455804" alt="Ayla Grace Jewelry" style=…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://aylagrace.ca/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://aylagrace.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix65
  • 2 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to /pages/about and /pages/personalization, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /collections/season-two, /collections/season-two/products/shimmering-rose-2, /collections/season-two/products/icy-sky and /collections/season-two/products/cloudy-sky have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/season-two/products/shimmering-rose-2, whose canonical is /products/shimmering-rose-2. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    /collections/season-two/products/shimmering-rose-2, /collections/season-two/products/icy-sky and /collections/season-two/products/cloudy-sky have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 6 internal pages checked

    We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix86
  • 2 broken links to your own pages

    2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://aylagrace.ca/pages/about (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • 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 (aylagrace.ca).

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for aylagrace.ca and is valid for another 47 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://aylagrace.ca redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aylagrace.ca 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

    aylagrace.ca'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 6 years old

    6 years

    aylagrace.ca was registered in May 2020 through Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2028

    aylagrace.ca is registered until May 2028.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 123 words

    The homepage has only about 123 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Shop now” and “Subscribe”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    aylagrace.ca has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    aylagrace.ca has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Domain receives no email

    aylagrace.ca has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
