burkesoutlet.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 25
25/100Your mobile performance score is 25 (desktop: 49). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.8 s
A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Curalate and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 1.2 MB62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 204 KiBAbout 204 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 564 ms
564 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 564 ms of main-thread work and 744 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.
Google CDN adds 356 ms
356 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 356 ms of main-thread work and 768 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.
2,806 HTML elements
The page has 2,806 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Curalate adds 178 ms
178 msCuralate costs a phone 178 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 185 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
174 KiB9 images could be 174 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
10 KiB10 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.356

Total Blocking Time: 837 ms
837 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 837 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

Real-user INP: 240 ms
240 msReal visitors wait 240 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.18
0.18For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.18 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
15 images without width and height
15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 251 ms to 254 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 203 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 203 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (55), other files 1.4 MB (49) and images 907 KiB (77). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
BLS-Images-HP-20261009-Hero-Mobile.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).
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.51 g of CO₂e: 181.8 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
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 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).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 57 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
499 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 499 pages on burkesoutlet.com and 15 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 149 characters
Your meta description is 149 characters: “Shop bealls for clothing, shoes, home décor, and gifts. Enjoy trendy, affordable fashion for the whole family with easy…”.
Title: 51 characters

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
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.
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 (1,453 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /promotion-disclaimers, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/track-order-status declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
6 pages without a meta description
/shipping-delivery, /c/new/new-arrivals-handbags, /c/new/new-arrivals-juniors, /c/new/new-arrivals-mens, /c/new/new-arrivals-shoes and /c/new/new-arrivals-womens-plus have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
