Speed

11 to fix41
  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your 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 ms

    alia-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 KiB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (522 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    566 KiB

    About 566 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    7 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 ms

    replocdn.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 ms

    rebuyengine.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 KiB

    7 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    18 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 KiB

    4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.0 s

    12.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Your largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Homepage banner with three models standing on a beige backg…”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 180 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 563 ms

    563 ms

    Real visitors wait 563 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

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 49.7 MB in 359 requests

    49.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 49.7 MB in 359 requests on a phone: media 45.8 MB (13), scripts 1.8 MB (96) and other files 883 KiB (160). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 14.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    14.09 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 14.09 g of CO₂e: 1690.4 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

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9395
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (31 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 31 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (30 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 55 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 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: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (202 characters)

    Your meta description is 202 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 54 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 54 pages on comradsocks.com and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Compression Socks for All-Day Energy, Comfort & Relief”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “COMRAD | Everyday Compression Socks with Benefits For Men & Women”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.comradsocks.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://www.comradsocks.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,997 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without an H1

    /products/compression-leggings-black, /pages/how-to-use-your-hsa-fsa-funds-at-comrad and /products/cozy-compression-socks-stripes have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /products/compression-leggings-black 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 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.comradsocks.com/?_su_rec=petgHXkICl_qy3808b2hQlDn9sOA9se_SqAzcRft7Asl5QiD1uNQDKpLKTeFKHIwz5wok3l8449EXtLYfTrvEQXubzS-OLcSGlpSQymsr7uuZCto9AlQGuPstwyAQIf9bWkFtkGARe0W8_6Sk6sV9-3UeDhMwafq_hD.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 13 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: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (comradsocks.com).

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for comradsocks.com and is valid for another 48 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://comradsocks.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 47 links work

    All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    comradsocks.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 10 years old

    10 years

    comradsocks.com was registered in Jan 2016 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only ssl.com, digicert.com, globalsign.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for comradsocks.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jan 2034

    comradsocks.com is registered until Jan 2034.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “Shop Womens”.

  • 41 calls to action

    The homepage has 41 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Shop” and “Shop Womens”.

  • 23 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • 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
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:mailgun.org ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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.

  • 29 cookies set on arrival

    29

    Opening the homepage sets 29 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.

  • 61 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 61 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 15 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
