Speed

10 to fix53
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.0 s · 303 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (303 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 239 KiB

    About 239 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 409 KiB

    15 images could be 409 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, loox.io and Shopify and others), adding 1.0 MB and 584 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    500 ms · 33 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,906 HTML elements

    The page has 1,906 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 92 ms

    92 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 92 ms of main-thread work and 430 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

    150 ms · 41 KiB

    About 41 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    Your largest element takes 16.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.0 s

    17.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.135

    0.135

    The layout shifts by 0.135 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 135 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.07

    0.07

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.07 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 451 ms

    451 ms

    Real visitors wait 451 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 76 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 251 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 251 requests on a phone: images 1,020 KiB (21), scripts 998 KiB (96) and other files 813 KiB (108). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    1_7c7d4039-d33d-4b21-8a07-f16fdcae9976.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).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    150 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1_7c7d4039-d33d-4b21-8a07-f16fdcae9976.jpg at 390 px wide, shown at 63 px. Resized copies would save about 150 KiB.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 119.7 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

4 to fixGoogle 9795
  • 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.

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “DeskBoard Buddy Desktop Whiteboard – The Smarter Alternative to Sticky”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 78 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 78 pages on deskboardbuddy.com and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “Replace sticky notes with a sleek desktop whiteboard. Keep your desk clean, your tasks visible, and your workflow organ…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://deskboardbuddy.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://deskboardbuddy.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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 (917 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://deskboardbuddy.com/pages/shipping-info and https://deskboardbuddy.com/pages/track-your-order-page have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://deskboardbuddy.com/pages/about-us, https://deskboardbuddy.com/pages/shipping-info and https://deskboardbuddy.com/pages/track-your-order-page 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 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 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”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    15 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 365 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 365 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Track Your Order”, “Contact Us” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 7 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 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 deskboardbuddy.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
