Speed
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 272 KiBAbout 272 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 98 KiB4 images could be 98 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.
Shopify adds 31 ms
31 msShopify costs a phone 31 ms of main-thread work and 327 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 Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 351 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and Google Fonts), adding 678 KiB and 31 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 263 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 4.5 s
4.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 4.7 s
4.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.7 s. Good is under 3.8 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
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 177 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 177 requests on a phone: other files 848 KiB (121), scripts 476 KiB (32) and images 469 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
fdf901fbc9572f1042c3b91d9b9238d6_tplv-be4g95zd3a-448x448.jpg 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).
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (7 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (4 characters)
Your title is only 4 characters: “Aura”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
60 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 60 pages on batforge.com and 1 external page.
5 checks passed

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.

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
/collections/chanel, /collections/dior, /collections/ysl, /collections/valentino, /collections/jean-paul-gaultier and /collections/bond-no9 and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://batforge.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.

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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (batforge.com).
Valid certificate (70 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for batforge.com and is valid for another 70 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://batforge.com 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.
All 19 links work
All 19 links checked from your homepage (18 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 78 days
batforge.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
batforge.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.
DNSSEC is off
batforge.com'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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 9 months old
9 monthsbatforge.com was registered in Jan 2026 through DNSPod, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
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 220 words
The homepage has only about 220 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 “Sign up”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
batforge.com 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
batforge.com 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
batforge.com 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.
