Speed

  • Signyfyd adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Signyfyd costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 282 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,595 HTML elements

    The page has 5,595 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Klaviyo and loox.io and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    310 ms · 551 KiB

    About 551 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 672 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 264 KiB

    67 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (264 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 322 KiB

    5 images could be 322 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    310 ms · 29 KiB

    29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Klaviyo adds 122 ms

    122 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.

  • Shopify adds 78 ms

    78 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 78 ms of main-thread work and 369 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.

  • Hexton adds 67 ms

    67 ms

    Hexton costs a phone 67 ms of main-thread work and 306 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 · 10 KiB

    About 10 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    44 KiB

    44 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 176 ms

    176 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 176 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix53
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Your largest element takes 10.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Slide 1”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 475 ms

    475 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 475 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix0
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 399 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 399 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (110), scripts 1.5 MB (148) and other files 724 KiB (87). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.41 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.41 g of CO₂e: 168.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fix91
  • 54 tap targets too small

    54 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 13 links without text

    13 links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 188 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10081
  • Title is long (77 characters)

    Your title is 77 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Fleshlight.com - Shop Adult Sex Toys & Male Pleasure Products – Fleshlight EU”.

  • Canonical points to another host

    Your canonical URL points to fleshlight.eu, not fleshlights.co.za, so Google may credit that host instead.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 179 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 179 pages on fleshlights.co.za and 23 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 76 characters

    Your meta description is 76 characters: “Fleshlight® Official Store. Fleshlight® is the #1 Male Sex Toy in the World.”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://fleshlights.co.za/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://fleshlights.co.za/collections/all, https://fleshlights.co.za/collections/flight-and-go and https://fleshlights.co.za/collections/fleshjack-boy-dildos have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://fleshlights.co.za/collections/fleshlight-girls, https://fleshlights.co.za/collections/birthday-girls, https://fleshlights.co.za/pages/stamina-training-unit-products, https://fleshlights.co.za/pages/quickshot-product-line and https://fleshlights.co.za/pages/manga-anime-fantasy-series have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://fleshlights.co.za/collections/dildos-women took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 107 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

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

  • 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.

  • About 1,978 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,978 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action
