Speed
Improve image delivery
7.3 MB18 images could be 7.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
418 KiBAbout 418 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 566 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,161 HTML elements
The page has 2,161 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 93 ms
93 msShopify costs a phone 93 ms of main-thread work and 648 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Adroll and Facebook and others), adding 991 KiB and 243 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
129 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (129 KiB).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 58 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 7 ms

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.
Time to Interactive: 12.2 s
12.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.12
0.12For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sYour largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “✋🏻 AVOID KNOCK OFFS & EXPENSIVE IMITATION SEATS! We only s…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.4 s).
15 images without width and height
15 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 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 117 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Total Blocking Time: 4 ms

Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.5 MB in 441 requests
20.5 MBYour homepage downloads 20.5 MB in 441 requests on a phone: media 10.2 MB (2), images 7.8 MB (65) and other files 1.1 MB (218). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
480PX_PRODUCT_SEAT_PAGE_COLLECTION.gif weighs 13.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (13.2 MB) 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 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit
5.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.81 g of CO₂e: 697.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
28 text elements with low contrast
28 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (279 characters)
Your meta description is 279 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Expected double-quoted property name in JSON at position 441)”.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
79 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 79 pages on backjoy.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 38 characters
Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “The BackJoy Company - Official Website”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.backjoy.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://www.backjoy.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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
3 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 (1,965 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /collections/gift-cards/Gift-cards+gift-vouchers+digital-cards+gifts, whose canonical is /collections/gift-cards. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
/pages/how-to-fit-genius and /pages/genius-product-info have 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 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Registered until Jun 2027
backjoy.com is registered until Jun 2027.
Content and conversion
Phone number is not tap-to-call

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be backjoy.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:infusionmail.com ip4:172.19.68.68 ip4:194.145.224.0/24 ip4:195.190.135.0/24 ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
