One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

6 to fix62
  • Improve image delivery

    1.9 s · 618 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    About 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 s

    3 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 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (217 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 80). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 31 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Web 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 45 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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 ms

    Real 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 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    The 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).

6 checks passed
  • 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 CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 524 ms

    524 ms

    Real visitors wait 524 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 170 ms

    170 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 170 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix58
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 56 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

5 to fixGoogle 8592
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8379
  • 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

100
  • 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

3 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10078
  • 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

1 to fix93
  • 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 years

    custommade.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

2 to fix86
  • 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

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Get started”, “Pricing & Costs” and “Learn more”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 testimonial or review blocks, 2 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

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

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and TikTok Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
