Speed

6 to fix68
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 228 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (228 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 186 KiB

    About 186 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 123 KiB

    3 images could be 123 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 41 KiB

    About 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (squarecdn.com, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 248 KiB and 87 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 59 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 309 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 43 ms

    43 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 9 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.51 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 60.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 155 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 155 requests on a phone: other files 787 KiB (104), scripts 496 KiB (34) and images 278 KiB (8). That is a lean page.

  • 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

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8992
  • 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.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

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

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9271
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (13 characters)

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

  • Meta description is long (169 characters)

    Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 100 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 100 pages on cloverandbear.com and 5 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://cloverandbear.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; logo and description would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 10 pages share 5 titles

    https://cloverandbear.com/collections/sets-1 and https://cloverandbear.com/collections/sets/Sets all use the title “Sets – Clover + BEAR”, and 4 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://cloverandbear.com/collections/boys, https://cloverandbear.com/collections/sets-1, https://cloverandbear.com/collections/tops-1, https://cloverandbear.com/collections/bottoms-1, https://cloverandbear.com/collections/rompers-onesies and https://cloverandbear.com/collections/sandals-shoes-1 and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://cloverandbear.com/collections/sets/Sets, whose canonical is https://cloverandbear.com/collections/sets/sets. 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 40 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

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 19 small tap targets

    19 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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.

  • Only about 110 words

    The homepage has only about 110 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “CONTACT US” and “Join”.

  • 5 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Pinterest Tag (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 cloverandbear.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
