Speed

10 to fix52
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.8 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.

  • 3,524 HTML elements

    The page has 3,524 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 (starapps.studio, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 15.9 MB and 905 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    950 ms · 1.3 MB

    29 images could be 1.3 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.

  • starapps.studio adds 515 ms

    515 ms

    starapps.studio costs a phone 515 ms of main-thread work and 14.6 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 477 KiB

    About 477 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 626 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 158 ms

    158 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 158 ms of main-thread work and 510 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

    150 ms · 134 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (134 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 74 KiB

    About 74 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

    42 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 102.9 s

    102.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 102.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    Your largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A promotional banner for summer footwear featuring three pr…”. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.7 s).

  • Speed Index: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Real visitors wait 3.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 542 ms

    542 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 542 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 149 ms

    149 ms

    Real visitors wait 149 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 707 ms

    707 ms

    Real visitors wait 707 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix42
  • Page weight: 20.8 MB in 365 requests

    20.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 20.8 MB in 365 requests on a phone: scripts 16.4 MB (99), images 2.8 MB (59) and other files 1.1 MB (187). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (1.2 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Summer_Footwear_MOB_2.webp 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).

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    218 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Summer_Footwear_MOB_2.webp at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 218 KiB.

  • About 5.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.88 g of CO₂e: 706.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8995
  • 31 buttons without a name

    31 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 13 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 73 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

Google 100100
  • 605 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 605 pages on boardcollective.com.au and 3 external pages.

8 checks passed

  • Title: 41 characters

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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://boardcollective.com.au/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,050 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://boardcollective.com.au/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 10 pages without a meta description

    https://boardcollective.com.au/pages/tolstoy-tv-page, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/mens-new-in, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/kids-new-in-1, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/footwear-new-in, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/accessories-new-in and https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/surf-new-in-1 and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://boardcollective.com.au/pages/shipping, https://boardcollective.com.au/pages/tolstoy-tv-page, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/new-in, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/mens-new-in, https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/womens-new-in-1 and https://boardcollective.com.au/collections/kids-new-in-1 and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 61 small tap targets

    61 of 160 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_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 337 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 337 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “JOIN MATES OF BOARDCOLLECTIVE”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “JOIN MATES OF BOARDCOLLECTIVE”, “Shop all” and “Shop All”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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 boardcollective.com.au, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
