Speed

9 to fix58
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 253 KiB

    About 253 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.5 s · 227 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (227 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 385 KiB

    9 images could be 385 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 200 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 10 ms

    10 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 10 ms of main-thread work and 603 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 80 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 587 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.8 s

    12.8 s

    Your largest element takes 12.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Rosso Levanto”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.9 s

    12.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 43 ms

    43 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 43 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix68
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 187 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 187 requests on a phone: scripts 831 KiB (42), other files 805 KiB (111) and images 651 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (344 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    1 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example discover-full-mobil.png at 991 px wide, shown at 330 px. Resized copies would save about 1 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (248 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 7190
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 24 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 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

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • Meta description is short (26 characters)

    Your meta description is only 26 characters: “Decorative marble products”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.

  • 58 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 58 pages on designelements.co and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Design Elements”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Tasarım Detayları: El Yapımı Mermer | Design Elements”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.designelements.co/en.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.designelements.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (557 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

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    /en/products/pena-yesil and /en/products/pena-siyah all use the title “Pena Marble Lighting | marble design products | Design Elements”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /en/pages/handcrafted and /en/pages/limited-edition use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 8 pages without an H1

    /en/collections/all, /en/collections/dekorasyon, /en/collections/aydinlatma, /en/collections/banyo, /en/collections/mobilya and /en/pages/handcrafted and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /en/collections/banyo and /en/collections/mobilya have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 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

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://designelements.co goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.designelements.co/account.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (designelements.co).

  • Valid certificate (66 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for designelements.co and is valid for another 66 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://designelements.co 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.

  • All 27 links work

    All 27 links checked from your homepage (24 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, digicert.com, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for designelements.co, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

2 to fix67
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 325 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 325 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Register”, “Subscribe” and “Contact”.

  • 8 short forms

    8 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

3 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    designelements.co has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    designelements.co has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, 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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

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