Speed

10 to fix56
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 457 KiB

    About 457 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 272 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (272 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 4.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, PayPal and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 94.8 MB and 728 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 241 ms

    241 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 241 ms of main-thread work and 94.1 MB 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    700 ms · 3.1 MB

    18 images could be 3.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • 2,623 HTML elements

    The page has 2,623 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix50

  • Real-user FCP: 2.3 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

  • Total Blocking Time: 358 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 358 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 99.4 MB in 280 requests

    99.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 99.4 MB in 280 requests on a phone: media 93.5 MB (8), images 3.5 MB (56) and scripts 1.3 MB (81). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images far larger than shown

    372 KiB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example dpn-app-slide-1.jpg at 1,270 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 372 KiB.

  • About 28.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    28.18 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 28.18 g of CO₂e: 3381.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8289
  • 36 text elements with low contrast

    36 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 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 (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 15 links without text

    15 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 140 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8387
  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Private internet, at home and on the go.”, “” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://shop.deeper.network)”.

  • 10 links crawlers can't follow

    10 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 1 link with vague text

  • 142 internal links, 94 external

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 129 characters

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://deeper.io/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix64
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://deeper.io/products/deeper-connect-air, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://deeper.io/collections/accessories, https://deeper.io/pages/how-portable-vpn-router-works and https://deeper.io/pages/contact-us have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

    https://deeper.io/products/deeper-connect-wi-fi-adapter-usb-a and https://deeper.io/products/deeper-connect-wi-fi-adapter-usb-c use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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 deeper.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
