Speed

10 to fix64
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 689 KiB

    About 689 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Main-thread work: 7.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,976 HTML elements

    The page has 3,976 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 (Klaviyo, Shopify and Affirm and others), adding 2.5 MB and 921 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 109 KiB

    About 109 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 281 ms

    281 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 281 ms of main-thread work and 525 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 177 ms

    177 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 970 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.

  • tidio.co adds 104 ms

    104 ms

    tidio.co costs a phone 104 ms of main-thread work and 515 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 · 244 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (244 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 68 KiB

    3 images could be 68 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 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).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

7 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.1 s

    28.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Your largest element takes 7.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Slideshow Image 1”.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.12

    0.12

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 38% slower for real visitors

    +38%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 218 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 382 ms

    382 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 382 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 191 ms

    191 ms

    Real visitors wait 191 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 461 ms

    461 ms

    Real visitors wait 461 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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: 0.011

    0.011

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 6.3 MB in 597 requests

    6.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 597 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (272), scripts 2.2 MB (148) and other files 962 KiB (143). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Feature-CamWood-HB-Mobile-d01_1.jpg 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).

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (43 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.78 g of CO₂e: 214.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8387
  • 9 tap targets too small

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    6 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Frames without titles

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 6 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 122 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 122 pages on boxcomponents.com and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “Box Components was created with a rebellious vision and towering objective: to chart new courses and promote forward-th…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Premium BMX & MTB Components”.

  • Title: 32 characters

    Your title is a healthy 32 characters: “Box Components | BMX & MTB – Box”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://boxcomponents.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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,173 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
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    /collections/bottom-brackets, /collections/cranksets, /collections/drivetrain, /collections/forks, /collections/headsets and /collections/number-plates and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /collections/bottom-brackets, /collections/braking, /collections/cranksets, /collections/drivetrain, /collections/forks and /collections/handlebars and 9 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 59 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

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Authorization will not be covered by the wildcard symbol (*) in CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`…”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught Error: Goaffpro is already loaded. This message prevents duplicate loading of the script. Kindly ignore.”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

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

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 (boxcomponents.com).

  • Valid certificate (51 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for boxcomponents.com and is valid for another 51 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://boxcomponents.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 47 links work

    All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors; 10 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    boxcomponents.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

    boxcomponents.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 15 years old

    15 years

    boxcomponents.com was registered in Jul 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2031

    boxcomponents.com is registered until Jul 2031.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 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 701 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 701 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: “SHOP NOW” and “LEARN MORE”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “Join the Team” and “SHOP Expand menu”.

  • 6 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 123 testimonial or review blocks and 2 trust badges.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be boxcomponents.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:_spf.google.com include:shops.shopify.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 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.

  • 48 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 48 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 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
