Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.6 s · 1.5 MBAbout 1.5 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 1.1 MB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Improve image delivery
950 ms · 2.1 MB18 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, myomni.app and marsello.app and others), adding 3.9 MB and 851 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
910 ms · 255 KiBAbout 255 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 910 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
620 ms · 177 KiB177 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Google Tag Manager adds 252 ms
252 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 252 ms of main-thread work and 554 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.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
myomni.app adds 183 ms
183 msmyomni.app costs a phone 183 ms of main-thread work and 776 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.
2,314 HTML elements
The page has 2,314 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
marsello.com adds 75 ms
75 msmarsello.com costs a phone 75 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
marsello.app adds 106 ms
106 msmarsello.app costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.
Shopify adds 45 ms
45 msShopify costs a phone 45 ms of main-thread work and 304 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.9 MB in 254 requests
7.9 MBYour homepage downloads 7.9 MB in 254 requests on a phone: images 3.1 MB (22), scripts 3.1 MB (91) and other files 774 KiB (101). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Big-Rays-Alaskan-Outfitter-Winter-Catalog-Shoot-2025_Lena-Le weighs 692 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
533 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Big-Rays-Alaskan-Outfitter-Winter-Catalog-Shoot-2025_Lena-Le at 2,247 px wide, shown at 406 px. Resized copies would save about 533 KiB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
instagram-image-9c1ed07b-ee2d-4301-ba95-458fdc1244a8.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 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.23 g of CO₂e: 267.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
16 links without text
16 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Frames without titles
2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (21 characters)
Your title is only 21 characters: “Big Ray's – Big Ray's”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (318 characters)
Your meta description is 318 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
377 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 377 pages on bigrays.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://bigrays.com/.
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://bigrays.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (994 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://bigrays.com/llms.txt (46 KiB, 567 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://bigrays.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://bigrays.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
15 pages without a meta description
https://bigrays.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://bigrays.com/collections/mens, https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms, https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Bibs, https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Snow-Pants and https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Jeans and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
13 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 13 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms, whose canonical is https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/bottoms. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://bigrays.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages slow to respond
https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Snow-Pants, https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Jeans, https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Pants and https://bigrays.com/collections/mens/Bottoms+Rain-Pants took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Content and conversion
No social proof

21 cookies set on arrival
21Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
