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
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 875 KiBAbout 875 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.
5,400 HTML elements
The page has 5,400 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Yotpo, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 1.8 MB and 671 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 338 KiB5 images could be 338 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 371 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (371 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
750 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Shopify adds 164 ms
164 msShopify costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 489 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.
Yotpo adds 171 ms
171 msYotpo costs a phone 171 ms of main-thread work and 412 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.
Google CDN adds 137 ms
137 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 137 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
Klaviyo adds 107 ms
107 msKlaviyo costs a phone 107 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 184 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 30 KiBAbout 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.

Images and page weight

4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 389 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (101), images 992 KiB (88) and other files 864 KiB (182). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
[aria-*] attributes do not have valid values
[aria-*] attributes do not have valid values (1 element).
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.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 106 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
20 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“DeFeet” and “About DeFeet Socks”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

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.
298 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 298 pages on defeet.com and 13 external pages.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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.
Only about 10 words
The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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 map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
5 checks passed
13 calls to action
The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “LEARN MORE” and “shop now”.

1 checks passed
