Speed

8 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    12 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

    56/100

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

  • Shopify adds 551 ms

    551 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    govx.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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    13 KiB

    6 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.

  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix57
  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.338

    0.338

    The layout shifts by 0.338 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Your 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 …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 13 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 161 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

11 to fixGoogle 8087
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 10078
  • 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.

  • 484 internal links, 2 external

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

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.discovercurtains.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://www.discovercurtains.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 (9,207 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

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 198 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 56 small tap targets

    56 of 180 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

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.

  • 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 (discovercurtains.com).

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for discovercurtains.com and is valid for another 47 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://discovercurtains.com 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 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

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
  • Domain is 6 years old

    6 years

    discovercurtains.com was registered in Jul 2020 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

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

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    discovercurtains.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

3 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 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
  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Custom request”, “SHOP ALL CURTAINS” and “Start a Live Chat”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • 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
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.privateemail.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Pinterest Tag and TikTok 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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
