Speed

6 to fix80
  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 147 KiB

    About 147 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 966 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,202 HTML elements

    The page has 2,202 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 (preordernowapp.com, Shopify and YouTube and others), adding 400 KiB and 454 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 25 KiB

    25 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    19 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    14 KiB

    1 image could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Total Blocking Time: 122 ms

    122 ms

    1.1 s

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 250 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 250 requests on a phone: images 1,003 KiB (61), other files 862 KiB (119) and scripts 488 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Screenshot_2026-11-11_at_8.14.30_AM_a27b687a-11fe-4dc9-a078- 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.75 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 89.5 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

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 66 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • No favicon declared

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

  • 285 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 285 pages on capsulehats.com and 1 external page.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “Custom New Era 59FIFTY fitted hats designed by Capsule. Limited-edition MLB team colorways, Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Red…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Capsule Hats: New Era fitted hats and 59FIFTY caps”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “New Era Custom Fitted Hats & 59FIFTY Caps | CapsuleHats”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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

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, sameAs (social profiles) and description; logo and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,171 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://capsulehats.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://capsulehats.com/collections/new-arrivals and https://capsulehats.com/collections/new-arrivals/Base-Color_Black use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://capsulehats.com/collections/new-arrivals/Base-Color_Black, whose canonical is https://capsulehats.com/collections/new-arrivals/base-color_black. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://capsulehats.com/collections/7-7-8 took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7388
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“CSS appearance value `slider-vertical` is not standardized and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed

    86 of 87 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 572 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 572 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

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

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now!”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Register / Login”, “Shop Now!” and “SHOP Grey Bottoms A NY Go-To”.

  • 3 short forms

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

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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 capsulehats.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
