Speed

7 to fix74
  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    420 ms · 325 KiB

    About 325 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 817 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    254 KiB

    13 images could be 254 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2,455 HTML elements

    The page has 2,455 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 78 ms

    78 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 78 ms of main-thread work and 671 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and shgcdn3.com and others), adding 736 KiB and 189 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    120 ms · 22 KiB

    About 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 69 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    41 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (41 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 43 ms

    43 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 43 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100

    9.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 185 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 185 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (39), other files 795 KiB (71) and scripts 644 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9393
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (10 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 88 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8584
  • 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, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 15 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 12 links with vague text

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

  • 131 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 131 pages on chicconcept.co.uk and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

3 checks passed

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,256 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90

    https://chicconcept.co.uk/pages/free-fabric-sample has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

    5

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

Security, domain, email and software versions
