Speed
Mobile performance score: 83
83/100Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
390 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 390 ms faster on a phone.
becdn.net adds 59 ms
59 msbecdn.net costs a phone 59 ms of main-thread work and 449 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 CSS
150 ms · 55 KiBAbout 55 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.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (becdn.net, bunny.net and JSDelivr CDN), adding 519 KiB and 61 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Improve image delivery
72 KiB4 images could be 72 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Main-thread work: 0.3 s
A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 58 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 34 ms
34 msYour server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Speed Index: 4.7 s
4.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 4.0 s
4.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
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
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
39 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ecwid-1.jpg at 1,250 px wide, shown at 272 px. Resized copies would save about 39 KiB.
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.16 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.16 g of CO₂e: 19.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 590 KiB in 39 requests
590 KiBYour homepage downloads 590 KiB in 39 requests on a phone: images 274 KiB (10), scripts 130 KiB (8) and fonts 67 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
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.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “E-commerce Platform for Australian Businesses | Sell Online Easily”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
5 links crawlers can't follow
5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
13 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 13 pages on ecwid.au and 0 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 159 characters
Your meta description is 159 characters: “Create your online store in minutes, sell on multiple channels, and manage payments, shipping, and taxes with local sol…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Launch Your Online Business with Ecwid - Tailored for Australian Entrepreneurs”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.ecwid.au/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.ecwid.au/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (663 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages share a meta description
/about, /features, /contact and /our-blog use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
/contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Security and trust
Certificate expires in 13 days
Your certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 expires in 13 days. If it doesn't renew automatically, visitors get a security warning.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (ecwid.au).
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://ecwid.au redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 5 links work
All 5 links checked from your homepage (5 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
ecwid.au 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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 620 words of copy
The homepage carries about 620 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get Started” and “Get Started Free Today”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
ecwid.au 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 SPF record
ecwid.au has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
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.
Domain receives no email
ecwid.au has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
Privacy and tracking
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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
