Speed

5 to fix75
  • Improve image delivery

    1.2 s · 1.8 MB

    25 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • 1,676 HTML elements

    The page has 1,676 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 94 ms

    94 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 350 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 · 36 KiB

    About 36 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 397 KiB and 100 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 55 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    21 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (21 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 432 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “"Born Into It" is about having a passion for something that…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.4 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.028

    0.028

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.028, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 3 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix68
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 279 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 279 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (27), other files 762 KiB (96) and scripts 503 KiB (141). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (963 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.

  • 18 images below the first screen load straight away

    18 images further down the page (919 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9396
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Meta description is long (165 characters)

    Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 97 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 97 pages on bornintoit.com and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Born Into It”.

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Born Into It, Hometown & Lifestyle T-Shirts”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://bornintoit.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://bornintoit.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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 (471 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

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /collections/headwear, /collections/t-shirts and /collections/sweatshirts have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    /collections/headwear, /collections/t-shirts, /collections/sweatshirts, /products/lobster-boat-tours-printed-patch-cuff-knit, /products/buffalo-town-square-patch-two-tone-knit and /products/buffalo-town-square-dad-hat 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 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

7 to fix50
  • 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.

  • 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 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 223 words

    The homepage has only about 223 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact information”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 bornintoit.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Your storefront loads 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.
