Speed

3 to fix81
  • Mobile performance score: 81

    81/100

    Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 540 KiB

    About 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 ms

    7 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 KiB

    5 images could be 196 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    122 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (75 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    72 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 72 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    65 KiB

    65 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.

2 checks passed
  • 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

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Your 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).

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 111 ms

    111 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% faster for real visitors

    -20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 68 ms

    68 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 68 ms while loading. Good is under 200 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 fix85
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 177 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

2 to fixGoogle 9697
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 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

    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://crowdmade.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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

2 to fix90
  • 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
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Identifier 'themeInfo' has already been declared”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    22 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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 years

    crowdmade.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

5 to fix67
  • 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

1 to fix70
  • 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

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before 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

    8

    Opening 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.

Apps your storefront loads

Uso Ultimate Special Offers · Eg Auto Add To Cart · Event Promotion Bar · klaviyo.com · 506.io · hextom.com · kxcdn.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
