Speed

11 to fix64
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 533 KiB

    About 533 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    960 ms · 170 KiB

    About 170 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 960 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and joy.so and others), adding 2.4 MB and 767 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    913 KiB

    7 images could be 913 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify CSS

    660 ms · 108 KiB

    108 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Shopify adds 396 ms

    396 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 396 ms of main-thread work and 941 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: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 177 ms

    177 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.

  • cloudfront.net adds 2 ms

    2 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 2 ms of main-thread work and 815 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    220 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (220 KiB).

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 99 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).

  • Minify JavaScript

    40 ms · 2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    32 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 32 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “GET COMFORTABLE FEELING BEAUTIFUL”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.6 s

    17.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 113 ms

    113 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 113 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.021

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 238 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 238 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (115), images 1.4 MB (16) and other files 883 KiB (84). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    b34f1344-0bf1-4dae-9326-db82a3aa8bc4.jpeg weighs 707 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    880 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example b34f1344-0bf1-4dae-9326-db82a3aa8bc4.jpeg at 1,601 px wide, shown at 185 px. Resized copies would save about 880 KiB.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (945 KiB) 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.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8594
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 links without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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

3 to fixGoogle 10084
  • Title is long (88 characters)

    Your title is 88 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Comfort and Support: Find Your Perfect Nursing Bra | Blush and Bashful – Blush + Bashful”.

  • Meta description is long (273 characters)

    Your meta description is 273 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • 57 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 57 pages on blushandbashful.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Blush + Bashful”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://blushandbashful.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://blushandbashful.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://blushandbashful.com/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.

2 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 (303 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://blushandbashful.com/collections/bras has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    1 page of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 9 small tap targets

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

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was 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.

Content and conversion

4 to fix71
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 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.

  • Only about 193 words

    The homepage has only about 193 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 NEW” and “SIGN UP”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop All” and “Shop New”.

  • 4 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at blushandbashful.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 13 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
