discovercurtains.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
6,368 HTML elements
The page has 6,368 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, govx.com and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 923 KiB and 961 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 551 ms
551 msShopify costs a phone 551 ms of main-thread work and 720 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 JavaScript
300 ms · 126 KiBAbout 126 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
govx.com adds 395 ms
395 msgovx.com costs a phone 395 ms of main-thread work and 7 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.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 39 KiBAbout 39 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.
Improve image delivery
117 KiB6 images could be 117 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
17 KiB17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
13 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s
4.5 sYour largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Step into the sunshine with our Summer Seasonal Collection …”.

Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 161 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 161 requests on a phone: other files 885 KiB (68), scripts 654 KiB (53) and images 364 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
72 text elements with low contrast
72 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
48 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
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.
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.
77 links without text
77 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 359 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 11 failed. 2 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 (86 characters)
Your title is 86 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Buy Custom Curtains, Drapes and Valances Online| DISCOVER CURTAINS – Discover Curtains”.
Meta description is long (226 characters)
Your meta description is 226 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 484 pages on discovercurtains.com and 2 external pages.

Security and trust

Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
discovercurtains.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.
3 checks passed

Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Jul 2027
discovercurtains.com is registered until Jul 2027.
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 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 1,221 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,221 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be discovercurtains.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
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
