Speed

10 to fix70
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 550 KiB

    About 550 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 297 KiB

    8 images could be 297 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.2 MB and 805 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 381 ms

    381 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 381 ms of main-thread work and 568 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 CSS

    300 ms · 52 KiB

    About 52 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: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,974 HTML elements

    The page has 1,974 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • vanchat.app adds 88 ms

    88 ms

    vanchat.app costs a phone 88 ms of main-thread work and 378 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.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 67 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    38 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (38 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 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: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

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

    -18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 25 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 211 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 211 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (79), images 928 KiB (27) and other files 745 KiB (91). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (311 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.89 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.7 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

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • 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 (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 34 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 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 177 internal links, 72 external

    The homepage links to 177 pages on catalystcase.com and 72 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Catalyst Case | Shop Protection Cases For iPhone All Models”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://catalystcase.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 (1,051 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 10 pages share a title

    https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-17-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-16-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-15-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-14-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-13-series and https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-12-series and 4 others all use the title “Buy iPhone Cases by Catalyst®”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://catalystcase.com/collections/airpods-gen-4 has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 pages share a meta description

    https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-17-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-16-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-15-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-14-series, https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-13-series and https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-12-series and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 10 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 10 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://catalystcase.com/pages/iphone-17-series, whose canonical is https://catalystcase.com/collections/iphone. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 80 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.

  • Every page has an H1

  • 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>.

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (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.

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
