• Page weight: 3.5 MB

  3.5 MB

  Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB on a phone, 367 KiB of it images (10%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

  1.00 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 120.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 4 tap targets too small

  4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

  Elements (1)

  Your title is only 13 characters: “CLAE Footwear”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  View source

• 228 internal links, 8 external

  The homepage links to 228 pages on clae.com and 8 external pages.

• No llms.txt

  There is no /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.

• 1 page without a meta description

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

  Elements (1)

• 6 pages without an H1

  /collections/new-collection, /collections/shoes, /blogs/journal/clae-x-union-los-angeles, /products/gift-card, /collections/accessories and /collections/sneakers have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

• 1 page with very little text

  /products/gift-card has 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 81 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 69 small tap targets

  69 of 137 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• 4 JavaScript errors while loading

  4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

• 1 broken external link

  1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.youtube.com/@clae_official (404).

• Short HSTS lifetime

  HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

• No Referrer-Policy

  No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

• No Permissions-Policy

  No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

• Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

  X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

• No security.txt

  There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

• No CAA record

  clae.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

• DNSSEC is off

  clae.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

• 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.

• 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 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 677 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 677 words of visible text.

• Email authentication score: 85/100

  Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

• 6 trackers load before any consent

  6

  Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

• 30 cookies set on arrival

  30

  Opening the homepage sets 30 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.

• 48 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 48 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
