Speed

3 to fix83
  • Mobile performance score: 83

    83/100

    Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 1,801 HTML elements

    The page has 1,801 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, JSDelivr CDN and Shopify and others), adding 558 KiB and 200 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    190 KiB

    About 190 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 38 KiB

    4 images could be 38 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 99 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    26 KiB

    About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    13 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 585 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix78
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “New Arrivals”.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 11 images without width and height

    11 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 54 ms

    54 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 54 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix98
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    25219.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (128 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.56 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 67.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 201 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 201 requests on a phone: other files 889 KiB (80), scripts 517 KiB (69) and images 407 KiB (19). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9797
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (42 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 42 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • Title is short (26 characters)

    Your title is only 26 characters: “Creative Stitch Embroidery”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 132 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 132 pages on creativestitchembroidery.com and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 77 characters

    Your meta description is 77 characters: “Unique baby embroidery transforming baby essentials into memorable keepsakes.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Creative Stitch Embroidery”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://creativestitchembroidery.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://creativestitchembroidery.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,302 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://creativestitchembroidery.com/collections/shop-all, https://creativestitchembroidery.com/collections/halloween, https://creativestitchembroidery.com/collections/christmas-collection, https://creativestitchembroidery.com/collections/christmas-1, https://creativestitchembroidery.com/collections/copy-baby-clothes-accessories and https://creativestitchembroidery.com/collections/personalized-blankets and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 64 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed

    15 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 123 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 658 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 658 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Contact Us” and “Contact information”.

  • 6 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo and 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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 creativestitchembroidery.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 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

King Product Options · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Upload Lift · Judge Me Reviews
