Speed

10 to fix74
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 259 KiB

    6 images could be 259 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Forter and airwallex.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 532 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 387 ms

    387 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 387 ms of main-thread work and 601 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 70 KiB

    About 70 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    275 KiB

    About 275 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 1,803 HTML elements

    The page has 1,803 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google Fonts adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 351 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 52 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

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

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix70
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 1 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 220 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 220 requests on a phone: images 1,001 KiB (20), scripts 853 KiB (99) and other files 626 KiB (80). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    55 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example cw-hero-paper-decoration-v2.webp at 1,536 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 55 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (104 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.86 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 103.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 10096
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

4 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 description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,308 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://customwld.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://customwld.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://customwld.com/collections/all, https://customwld.com/collections/new-arrivals, https://customwld.com/collections/accessories-and-sample-pack, https://customwld.com/collections/custom-keychains, https://customwld.com/collections/stickers and https://customwld.com/collections/custom-acrylic-standees and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://customwld.com/.

  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 358 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 358 words of visible text.

4 checks passed

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start creating”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 customwld.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
