Speed

16 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.1 s · 788 KiB

    About 788 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 390 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (390 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 5,800 HTML elements

    The page has 5,800 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 5.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 1.3 MB

    20 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, loox.io and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    550 ms · 50 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Hotjar adds 407 ms

    407 ms

    Hotjar costs a phone 407 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 400 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • loox.io adds 263 ms

    263 ms

    loox.io costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 106 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 195 ms

    195 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 195 ms of main-thread work and 688 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 197 ms

    197 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 336 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.

  • Shopify adds 159 ms

    159 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 374 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 CSS

    100 ms · 3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.5 s

    18.5 s

    Your largest element takes 18.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.7 s

    22.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 853 ms

    853 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 853 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 29 images without width and height

    29 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 180 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 179 ms

    179 ms

    Real visitors wait 179 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 531 ms

    531 ms

    Real visitors wait 531 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix26
  • Page weight: 6.2 MB in 330 requests

    6.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 330 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (48), scripts 1.7 MB (108) and fonts 1.2 MB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    0c129e5e-7e31-4c7d-a035-d22a98af83b4.jpeg weighs 738 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 7 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 0c129e5e-7e31-4c7d-a035-d22a98af83b4.jpeg at 1,224 px wide, shown at 124 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    CCC-Mobile-HAPPYCAT15.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).

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (1.0 MB) 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (118 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.74 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.74 g of CO₂e: 209.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 17 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 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 (h1 → 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).

1 checks passed
  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 161 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 161 pages on catcaveco.com and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Cat Cave Co - Luxury Felted Wool Hand Made Cat Beds”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://catcaveco.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

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://catcaveco.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://catcaveco.com/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 (2,669 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://catcaveco.com/collections/accessories has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://catcaveco.com/collections/accessories has 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 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    1 page of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    48 of 53 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 1,095 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,095 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop All” and “Shop 15% Off”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 16 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating, 3 trust badges and “Over 60,000 customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 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.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies (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.

  • 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.

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