Speed

10 to fix24
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 24

    24/100

    Your mobile performance score is 24 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,942 HTML elements

    The page has 5,942 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    550 ms · 997 KiB

    27 images could be 997 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, ZenDesk and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 552 ms

    552 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 552 ms of main-thread work and 585 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 JavaScript

    578 KiB

    About 578 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • ZenDesk adds 273 ms

    273 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 396 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.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 298 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    About 12 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    129 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (129 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    22 KiB

    22 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 59 but mobile only 24. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 18 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.423

    0.423

    The layout shifts by 0.423 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 797 ms

    797 ms

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 8.6 MB in 303 requests

    8.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.6 MB in 303 requests on a phone: media 3.7 MB (1), images 2.0 MB (33) and scripts 1.7 MB (122). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (203 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 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.44 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.44 g of CO₂e: 292.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8392
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (91 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 91 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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 (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail 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.

  • Headings skip levels

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

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

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 263 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 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 487 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 487 pages on brics.it and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 160 characters

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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,221 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

3 to fix83
  • 15 linked pages hidden from search

    /pages/privacy-policy, /products/trolley-carry-on-volterra-trama-boe58117, /pages/store-locator, /pages/contact, /collections/new-arrivals and /collections/new-arrivals-luggage and 9 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /pages/contact has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    /pages/privacy-policy, /products/trolley-carry-on-volterra-trama-boe58117, /pages/contact, /collections/new-arrivals, /collections/designed-to-move-with-ease and /collections/expandable-luggage and 4 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 111 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7782
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=49000384&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=555bb549-4a9c-4701-9b4f-f3c364736986&bo=3&sid=dc2e4de0cdce11f1afb19dc91aa2a680&vid=dc2e8360cdce11f1ace9397e940bb6b2&vids=0&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    129 of 145 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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.

  • About 537 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 537 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (iubenda) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 31 cookies set on arrival

    31

    Opening the homepage sets 31 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: iubenda

    A consent management tool (iubenda) loads with the page.

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 brics.it, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
