bklynsoap.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

11 to fix63
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Main-thread work: 8.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,963 HTML elements

    The page has 5,963 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 (ZenDesk, Yotpo and Shopify and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 1,001 KiB

    19 images could be 1,001 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 463 KiB

    About 463 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 201 KiB

    33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (201 KiB).

  • ZenDesk adds 228 ms

    228 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 431 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 175 ms

    175 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 175 ms of main-thread work and 601 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.

  • etrusted.com adds 143 ms

    143 ms

    etrusted.com costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 873 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 234 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).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 13.6 MB in 968 requests

    13.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.6 MB in 968 requests on a phone: media 7.8 MB (2), scripts 1.9 MB (195) and images 1.8 MB (53). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.85 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.85 g of CO₂e: 462.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9794
  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (3 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    All 200 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 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: 52 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 92100
  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 378 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 378 pages on bklynsoap.com and 18 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

  • 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://bklynsoap.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • 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 (2,373 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 110 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 15 small tap targets

    15 of 52 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (bklynsoap.com).

  • Valid certificate (70 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for bklynsoap.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://bklynsoap.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 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    bklynsoap.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

    bklynsoap.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 14 years old

    14 years

    bklynsoap.com was registered in Aug 2012 through Hetzner Online GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    bklynsoap.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

6 to fix56
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 79 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 674 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 674 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Shop” and “Shop now”.

  • 53 short forms

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

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be bklynsoap.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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:mail.zendesk.com include:_spf.google.com ip4:144.76.3.19 ip6:2a01:4f8:190:7314::2 ip4:162.55.44.100 ip6:…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 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.

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 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 9 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.
