Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
8,101 HTML elements
The page has 8,101 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
1.6 MB9 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 262 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 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.

Images and page weight
5 images far larger than shown
1.4 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Apparel.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 185 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.
1 image over 500 KB
Apparel.jpg weighs 653 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 103 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 103 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (27), scripts 385 KiB (33) and fonts 365 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Stripes-YZF-9.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image in older formats
1 image (653 KiB) is 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
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.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h6 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (11 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 254 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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 (3,512 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
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
13 pages without a meta description
/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/factory-effex-apparel, /collections/yamaha-apparel, /collections/honda-apparel and /collections/kawasaki-apparel and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/apparel, /collections/factory-effex-apparel, /collections/yamaha-apparel and /collections/honda-apparel and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.factoryeffex.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

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 (factoryeffex.com).
Valid certificate (47 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for factoryeffex.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://factoryeffex.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 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
factoryeffex.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 yearsfactoryeffex.com was registered in Oct 1998 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for factoryeffex.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Oct 2028
factoryeffex.com is registered until Oct 2028.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. 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 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.
About 393 words of copy
The homepage carries about 393 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.
76 calls to action
The homepage has 76 calls to action, for example “Shop by Brand”, “Shop by Product” and “Shop Now”.
54 short forms
54 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be factoryeffex.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
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: 65/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 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.
