Speed

9 to fix58
  • Improve image delivery

    12.1 s · 6.2 MB

    13 images could be 6.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 12.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 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 TikTok and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 627 ms

    627 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 627 ms of main-thread work and 506 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    550 KiB

    About 550 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 345 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • LoyaltyLion adds 100 ms

    100 ms

    LoyaltyLion costs a phone 100 ms of main-thread work and 329 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

    48 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    31 KiB

    About 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.8 s

    25.8 s

    Your largest element takes 25.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 32.7 s

    32.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 439 ms

    439 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 439 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 134 ms to 131 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 174 ms

    174 ms

    Real visitors wait 174 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 717 ms

    717 ms

    Real visitors wait 717 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 9.3 MB in 327 requests

    9.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.3 MB in 327 requests on a phone: images 6.6 MB (16), scripts 1.5 MB (117) and other files 967 KiB (153). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    5.8 MB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 6_9fd5902a-255c-4576-a7d8-2ddf7c501df6.jpg at 1,800 px wide, shown at 194 px. Resized copies would save about 5.8 MB.

  • 9 images over 500 KB

    9 images weigh 5.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (4.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (2.4 MB) are 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 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.63 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.63 g of CO₂e: 315.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9095
  • 12 buttons without a name

    12 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 52 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 52 pages on dropdead.co and 2 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “DROP DEAD CLOTHING”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “DROP DEAD | The Original High-End Goth Brand – DROP DEAD CLOTHING”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://dropdead.world/.

  • 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://dropdead.world/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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 (401 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 fix88
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /collections/all and /collections/vessels have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /collections/new-in and /collections/shop use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    /collections/all, /collections/vessels, /collections/new-in and /collections/shop 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 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 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.

  • 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 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 16 small tap targets

    16 of 29 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 “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://shopify-extension.getredo.com/7036-a115bc9f.css' from origin 'https://dropdead.wor…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No social proof

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

  • Only about 243 words

    The homepage has only about 243 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “JOIN US”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Shop now”, “SHOP ALL” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and TikTok Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 mores (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.

  • 27 cookies set on arrival

    27

    Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 40 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 40 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 dropdead.co, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Redo · Loyalty Rewards And Referrals · Beans Id Verification · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Swym Wishlist Plus · cloudfront.net · getredo.com
