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
Improve image delivery
1.9 s · 618 KiB6 images could be 618 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 367 KiBAbout 367 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 217 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (217 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 80). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, TikTok and openai.com and others), adding 577 KiB and 225 ms of main-thread time.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 91 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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: 1.3 s
A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 598 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 45 ms
45 msYour server sent the HTML in 45 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user INP: 586 ms
586 msReal visitors wait 586 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.2 s
15.2 sYour largest element takes 15.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Make the ring no one else has. GET STARTED”.
Time to Interactive: 15.2 s
15.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.2 s
6.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sThe first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 33% slower for real visitors
+33%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 220 ms to 279 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 56 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 56 requests on a phone: scripts 962 KiB (16), images 937 KiB (13) and HTML 144 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (524 KiB) are 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.
1 image far larger than shown
76 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example about-us-gems.jpg at 678 px wide, shown at 169 px. Resized copies would save about 76 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (326 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 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 (40 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 40 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
31 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is short (51 characters)
Your meta description is only 51 characters: “Get the perfect engagement ring, made just for you.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Make the ringno one else has.” and “You’ve seen what we make.Now let’s make yours.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//assets.custommade.com/static/images/brand2025/logo-wo…”.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
44 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 44 pages on custommade.com and 4 external pages.
3 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Engagement Rings - Wedding Rings & Fine Jewelry | CustomMade”.
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.custommade.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (591 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/design-with-us is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without a meta description
/about, /our-guarantee, /how-it-works and /diamond-experience have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
/reviews, /design-with-us, /how-it-works and /diamond-experience have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=27011894&Ver=2&mid=f6822b27-643e-46a4-a4c1-5f67548c0f62&bo=2&sid=1e566bf0ce2211f1924fcb02dd9e346b&vid=1e569360ce2211f1bfa1f13ecc14a834&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.
1 small tap target
1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (custommade.com).
Valid certificate (146 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for custommade.com and is valid for another 146 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://custommade.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 30 links work
All 30 links checked from your homepage (26 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
custommade.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
custommade.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 30 years old
30 yearscustommade.com was registered in Mar 1996 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2029
custommade.com is registered until Mar 2029.
Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 356 words of copy
The homepage carries about 356 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GET STARTED”.
6 calls to action

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
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
