Speed

14 to fix29
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5.5 s · 2.8 MB

    60 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.8 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.1 s · 2.5 MB

    About 2.5 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 1.2 MB

    16 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Azure Web Services adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Azure Web Services costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.8 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 29

    29/100

    Your mobile performance score is 29. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,374 HTML elements

    The page has 3,374 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Azure Web Services, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 4.8 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 933 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 479 ms

    479 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 479 ms of main-thread work and 707 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 371 ms

    371 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 371 ms of main-thread work and 439 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.

  • Kaltura Video Platform adds 183 ms

    183 ms

    Kaltura Video Platform costs a phone 183 ms of main-thread work and 524 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 CDN adds 143 ms

    143 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 105 KiB

    About 105 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    70 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.7 s

    9.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.9 s

    26.9 s

    Your largest element takes 26.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “New Jigsaw Puzzles”.

  • Speed Index: 17.4 s

    17.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 17.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 48.9 s

    48.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 48.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 916 ms

    916 ms

    Real visitors wait 916 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 17 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 151 ms to 162 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 161 ms

    161 ms

    Real visitors wait 161 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix28
  • Page weight: 9.2 MB in 582 requests

    9.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.2 MB in 582 requests on a phone: scripts 5.5 MB (193), images 1.8 MB (108) and other files 1.0 MB (214). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    52537_Artist_Spotlight_Bonnie_White_10202026.webp weighs 500 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (1.0 MB) are 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.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (970 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    44 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 52537_Artist_Spotlight_Bonnie_White_10202026.webp at 1,131 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 44 KiB.

  • About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.60 g of CO₂e: 312.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)

    Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (21 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 21 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 14 links without text

    14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 117 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 336 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 336 pages on bitsandpieces.com and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “Shop for high-quality jigsaw puzzles, personalized gifts, and more from Bits and Pieces. We are one of the foremost jig…”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Bits and Pieces | Buy Jigsaw Puzzles, Personalized Gifts & More”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.bitsandpieces.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://www.bitsandpieces.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,394 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

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 129 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8878
  • 10 broken images

    10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.bitsandpieces.com/.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    37 of 39 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://www.bitsandpieces.com/collections/50-piece-jigsaw-puzzles-for-seniors (network).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://www.bitsandpiecescanada.ca/.

  • 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 (bitsandpieces.com).

  • Valid certificate (57 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bitsandpieces.com and is valid for another 57 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://bitsandpieces.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.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    bitsandpieces.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    bitsandpieces.com was registered in Dec 1995 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for bitsandpieces.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Dec 2029

    bitsandpieces.com is registered until Dec 2029.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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.

  • About 562 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 562 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start Shopping”.

  • 33 calls to action

    The homepage has 33 calls to action, for example “Shop By Artist”, “Shop By Pieces” and “Shop By Theme”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 17 testimonial or review blocks and 8 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be bitsandpieces.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.logicalware.com ip4:129.33.243.55 ip4:208.7.138.195 ip4:209.255.2…”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 35 cookies set on arrival

    35

    Opening the homepage sets 35 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.

  • 59 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 59 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 18 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.

Apps your storefront loads
