Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix63
  • Improve image delivery

    11.3 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 11.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 552 KiB

    About 552 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 667 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 317 ms

    317 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 317 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

    300 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • LoyaltyLion adds 52 ms

    52 ms

    LoyaltyLion costs a phone 52 ms of main-thread work and 330 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

    150 ms · 48 KiB

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 151 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    31 KiB

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

  • 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: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 35.0 s

    35.0 s

    Your largest element takes 35.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 36.5 s

    36.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 36.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.6 s

    9.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, 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).

9 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: 176 ms

    176 ms

    Real visitors wait 176 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: 710 ms

    710 ms

    Real visitors wait 710 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, 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).

  • Total Blocking Time: 122 ms

    122 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 122 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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: 9.4 MB in 355 requests

    9.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.4 MB in 355 requests on a phone: images 6.6 MB (16), scripts 1.5 MB (116) and other files 1.1 MB (182). 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 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.67 g of CO₂e: 319.8 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”.

  • 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.

  • Links look like plain text

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

  • 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.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 3 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.world 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
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    /collections/all, /collections/vessels, /collections/jumpers, /collections/jackets, /collections/bottoms and /collections/accessories and 3 others 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.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    /collections/all, /collections/vessels, /collections/new-in, /collections/shop, /collections/tops and /collections/jumpers and 8 others 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

    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 9687
  • 13 small tap targets

    13 of 25 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.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://dropdead.world/account.

  • 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 (dropdead.world).

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for dropdead.world and is valid for another 48 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://dropdead.world 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 34 links work

    All 34 links checked from your homepage (33 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dropdead.world has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    dropdead.world'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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 6 years old

    6 years

    dropdead.world was registered in May 2020 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    dropdead.world is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix64
  • 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 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 169 words

    The homepage has only about 169 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.

4 checks passed
  • 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.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    dropdead.world has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.dropdead.world ~all”.

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.

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 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 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

  • Swym Wishlist Plus · problem reported Oct 2026attackers planted code in its settings that sent shoppers who pressed Checkout to a fake checkout page taking card details.
