Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 540 KiBAbout 540 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, 506.io and pxucdn.com and others), adding 1,008 KiB and 394 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
196 KiB5 images could be 196 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
122 KiBAbout 122 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 118 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
75 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (75 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
72 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 72 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
65 KiB65 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 617 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms

Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sThe first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.3 s

Time to Interactive: 6.7 s
6.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “HOT PRODUCTS NOW”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.4 s).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 177 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 177 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (61), other files 689 KiB (86) and images 386 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 83.3 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
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
25 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 25 pages on crowdmade.com and 2 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “Crowdmade partners with creators from YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat to create the highest quality apparel and access…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Crowdmade”.
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Crowdmade - The best merch from the creators you love”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://crowdmade.com/.
Open Graph tags complete

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://crowdmade.com/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.
2 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.
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 page without a meta description
/pages/frequently-asked-questions has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/collections/tastinghistory and /pages/frequently-asked-questions have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
/pages/find-my-order and /pages/contact-us have 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 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://dashboard.crowdmade.com/dashboard.
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 (crowdmade.com).
Valid certificate (49 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for crowdmade.com and is valid for another 49 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://crowdmade.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 23 links work
All 23 links checked from your homepage (21 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
crowdmade.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
crowdmade.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 19 years old
19 yearscrowdmade.com was registered in Jul 2007 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2027
crowdmade.com is registered until Jun 2027.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 90 words
The homepage has only about 90 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BUY NOW” and “ORDER NOW”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “buy now”, “Order Now” and “Shop Now”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Plausible.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be crowdmade.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:mail.zendesk.com include:mailgun.org include:_spf.google.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:shops.shop…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 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.
18 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 7 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.
