Speed
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.3 s
A phone's processor spends 9.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,914 HTML elements
The page has 3,914 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, replocdn.com and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
alia-prod.com adds 627 ms
627 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 627 ms of main-thread work and 633 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 522 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (522 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
566 KiBAbout 566 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 357 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
replocdn.com adds 286 ms
286 msreplocdn.com costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 243 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 246 ms
246 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 246 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 88 KiB7 images could be 88 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 71 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 71 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 18 KiB18 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Other pages
3 pages without an H1

Registered until Jan 2034

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage

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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 957 words of copy
The homepage carries about 957 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be comradsocks.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
