Speed

12 to fix63
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 472 KiB

    About 472 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

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

  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,642 HTML elements

    The page has 3,642 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 (Shopify, Klaviyo and Yotpo and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 262 KiB

    7 images could be 262 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 235 KiB

    About 235 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 302 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (302 KiB).

  • Shopify adds 435 ms

    435 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 435 ms of main-thread work and 939 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 74 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 74 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 256 ms

    256 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 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).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 26 ms

    26 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 26 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Your largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.4 s

    19.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 122 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 108 ms

    108 ms

    Real visitors wait 108 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.07

    0.07

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.07 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 712 ms

    712 ms

    Real visitors wait 712 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 198 ms

    198 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 198 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.05

    0.05

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.05, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 4.3 MB in 311 requests

    4.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 311 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (152), other files 801 KiB (110) and images 617 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    GiftGuide-Homepage-Main-Mobile_400x.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).

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 145.2 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

6 to fixGoogle 8591
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    4 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 24 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (49 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 49 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8595
  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 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.

  • 183 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 183 pages on burley.com and 9 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Since 1978, Burley has built quality products to help you take on new adventures. Shop bike trailers for kids, pets, an…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Premium Kid, Pet and Cargo Bike Trailers from Burley”.

  • Title: 47 characters

    Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “Burley | Premium Kid, Pet & Cargo Bike Trailers”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Corporation 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://burley.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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (773 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

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

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

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /collections/bike-attachment-for-kids, /collections/cargo, /collections/pet, /collections/more, /collections/sale and /pages/store-locator and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 5 pages with very little text

    /collections/bike-attachment-for-kids, /collections/cargo, /collections/pet, /collections/more and /pages/store-locator have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 88 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to font at 'https://www.burley.com/cerapro.woff' from origin 'https://burley.com' has been blocked by CORS polic…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    60 of 67 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 799 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 799 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “SHOP ALL KID PRODUCTS”, “LEARN MORE ABOUT” and “SHOP ALL CARGO PRODUCTS”.

  • 4 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 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 burley.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 16 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
