Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user LCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.17

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB on a phone, 1.3 MB of it images (28%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
3_0cf34492-9bf4-4057-8425-03bce7836917.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image far larger than shown
25 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example christmas_phone_case_with_adjustable_crossbody_strap.jpg at 1,367 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 25 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (47 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 154.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
16 images without alt text
16 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
134 links without text
134 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
17 form fields without a label
17 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Custype Crossbody Phone Cases for iPhone & Samsung with wallet & strap”.
Meta description is long (220 characters)
Your meta description is 220 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("https:files/20211214-170603.png")”.
542 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 542 pages on custype.com and 6 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://custype.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://custype.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,021 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
12 pages without an H1
/pages/christmas-lookbook, /collections/crossbody-phone-case, /collections/iphone-18-series-cases, /collections/custype-annual-promotion, /pages/personalized-phone-cases-diy and /collections/iphone-18-pro-max-cases and 6 others 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 116 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

Best practices
23 small tap targets
23 of 32 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
4 broken links to your own pages
4 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://custype.com/collections/iphone-17-air-case (500).
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (custype.com).
Valid certificate (49 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for custype.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://custype.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
custype.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
custype.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 10 years old
10 yearscustype.com was registered in Jul 2016 through Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2028
custype.com is registered until Jul 2028.
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.
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.
About 526 words of copy
The homepage carries about 526 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “T&C Apply”.
20 calls to action
The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “T&C Apply” and “SHOP ALL”.
9 short forms
9 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be custype.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:_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
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity and 1 more (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.
20 cookies set on arrival
20Opening the homepage sets 20 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.
31 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 31 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 8 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
Yotpo Product Reviews · Simprosys Google Shopping Feed · Inbox · Stream Email Sms · Forms · Loyalty Program · cloudfront.net · goaffpro.com
