Speed
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 436 KiBAbout 436 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
432 KiB17 images could be 432 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
384 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (384 KiB).
Shopify adds 226 ms
226 msShopify costs a phone 226 ms of main-thread work and 464 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 971 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,880 HTML elements
The page has 1,880 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 (Shopify, kiwisizing.com and squarecdn.com and others), adding 990 KiB and 397 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 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.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 79 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 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.

Speed Index: 5.0 s
5.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
30 images without width and height
30 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.7 MB in 342 requests
5.7 MBYour homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 342 requests on a phone: images 3.4 MB (94), scripts 1.1 MB (110) and other files 863 KiB (117). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
29 images below the first screen load straight away
29 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (50 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.62 g of CO₂e: 194.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
40 images without alt text
40 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
11 H1 headlines
There are 11 <h1> headlines (“Corset Story UK”, “4 for 1 Multibuy” and “Create Your Curves”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
13 links crawlers can't follow
13 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
148 internal links, 39 external
The homepage links to 148 pages on corsets-uk.com and 39 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://corset-story.co.uk/.
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://corset-story.co.uk/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (995 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://corset-story.co.uk/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
9 pages without a title
https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/corsets, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/new-in, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/underbust-corsets, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/overbust-corsets, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/corset-tops and https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/corset-dresses and 3 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
9 pages without a meta description
https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/corsets, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/new-in, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/underbust-corsets, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/overbust-corsets, https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/corset-tops and https://corset-story.co.uk/collections/corset-dresses and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=4018262&Ver=2&mid=8c687196-568c-41ea-b676-1bb369b4c3bb&bo=1&sid=cb76cf00dd5f11f193b98fbf83bed062&vid=cb76f900dd5f11f1833a318cea582c5a&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg=.
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 403 ()”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
16 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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 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.
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 721 words of copy
The homepage carries about 721 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
4 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Sign Up”, “Contact Us & FAQS” and “Klarna - Shop Now Pay Later”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 24 testimonial or review blocks and 20 trust badges.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads 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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 3 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.
34 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 34 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 corsets-uk.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
