Speed

6 to fix75
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 296 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (296 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 378 KiB

    About 378 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 182 KiB

    About 182 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. 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 (Shopify, Klaviyo and squarecdn.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 444 ms of main-thread time.

  • cdnhub.co adds 40 ms

    40 ms

    cdnhub.co costs a phone 40 ms of main-thread work and 441 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

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    39 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 634 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Your largest element takes 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.036

    0.036

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.036, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 32 ms

    32 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 32 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 177 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 177 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (74), other files 809 KiB (85) and stylesheets 216 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 78.3 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

2 to fixGoogle 9296
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10084
  • Title is short (28 characters)

    Your title is only 28 characters: “Fierce.One Home – Fierce One”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is short (63 characters)

    Your meta description is only 63 characters: “Fierce.one wearables to lift your spirit and speak to your soul”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.fierce.one/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 34 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 34 pages on fierce.one and 3 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “<img src="//www.fierce.one/cdn/shop/files/Fierce.one_175x.png?v=1620645673" srcset="//www.fierce.one/cdn/shop/files/Fie…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.fierce.one/.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,185 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

  • Your server turned our page checks away

    15 pages we tried to fetch timed out or refused automated requests, so these checks couldn't run. Some firewalls do this to every bot, including search engine crawlers they don't recognise.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://widget-api.socialhead.io/api/store/widget?shop_domain=fierce-one-online.myshopify.…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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 (fierce.one).

  • Valid certificate (54 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for fierce.one and is valid for another 54 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://fierce.one 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 26 links work

    All 26 links checked from your homepage (23 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    fierce.one'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 5 years old

    5 years

    fierce.one was registered in May 2021 through Instra Corporation Pty Ltd. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only ssl.com, digicert.com, globalsign.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for fierce.one, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until May 2027

    fierce.one is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • 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: 125 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 923 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 923 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Subscribe”.

  • 3 short forms

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

Email authentication

2 to fix10
  • No DMARC policy

    fierce.one 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

    fierce.one 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.

  • Email authentication score: 10/100

    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
  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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.

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

    Opening the homepage sets 21 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.

  • 35 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 35 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 6 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.

Apps your storefront loads

Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Judge Me Reviews · Affiliatery · nfcube.com · carecart.io · kaktusapp.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
