Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Insider and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 494 KiB8 images could be 494 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
30 ms · 707 KiBAbout 707 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 362 ms
362 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 362 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (300 KiB).
Klaviyo adds 242 ms
242 msKlaviyo costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 522 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.
2,421 HTML elements
The page has 2,421 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 206 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
30 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
30 ms · 39 KiB39 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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
Page weight: 5.2 MB in 338 requests
5.2 MBYour homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 338 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (137), images 1.8 MB (36) and other files 1.1 MB (145). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.47 g of CO₂e: 176.8 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
4 buttons without a name
4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Form elements must have labels (4 elements)
Form elements must have labels: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (5 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is short (65 characters)
Your meta description is only 65 characters: “Shop the latest clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories from DKNY.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
265 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 265 pages on dkny.com and 8 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “img.logo--image { height: auto; width: 124px; border-radius: 0; } @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) { img.logo-…”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “DKNY | Friends & Family Event - 40% Off with Code FRIEND40”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.dkny.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, OnlineStore, WebPage 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.dkny.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,365 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 pages without a meta description
/collections/friends-and-family-event, /collections/new-clothing and /collections/sweaters-and-tops have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
14 pages without an H1
/pages/promotions, /collections/friends-and-family-event, /collections/clothing, /collections/new-clothing, /collections/outerwear and /collections/sweatshirts-and-joggers and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
11 pages with very little text
/collections/friends-and-family-event, /collections/clothing, /collections/new-clothing, /collections/outerwear, /collections/sweatshirts-and-joggers and /collections/sweaters-and-tops and 5 others 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.
2 pages slow to respond
/collections/outerwear and /collections/dresses-jumpsuits took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 96 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.dkny.com/.
9 small tap targets
9 of 22 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 (“`<source src>` with a `<picture>` parent is invalid and therefore ignored. Please use `<source srcs…”).
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught RestrictedUrlError: Requests are not allowed to the same origin: https://www.dkny.com/cdn-cgi/challenge-platfo…”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (dkny.com).
Valid certificate (69 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for dkny.com and is valid for another 69 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.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://dkny.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 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
dkny.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 28 years old
28 yearsdkny.com was registered in Nov 1997 through CSC Corporate Domains, 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 dkny.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Nov 2027
dkny.com is registered until Nov 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
A 9-field form
Your longest form asks for 9 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
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.
Only about 179 words
The homepage has only about 179 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.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.
10 calls to action
The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Shop now”, “SHOP ALL SALE” and “SHOP NOW”.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:u20078948.wl199.sendgrid.net include:mail.zendesk.com include:_spf.fashiongps.com ip4:108.168.223.1…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
10 trackers load before any consent
10Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
30 cookies set on arrival
30Opening the homepage sets 30 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
62 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 62 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
