Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 432 KiBAbout 432 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: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.0 s
A phone's processor spends 6.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 822 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 325 KiB8 images could be 325 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
rebuyengine.com adds 196 ms
196 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 196 ms of main-thread work and 650 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.
2,352 HTML elements
The page has 2,352 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 156 ms
156 msKlaviyo costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 327 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 131 ms
131 msShopify costs a phone 131 ms of main-thread work and 357 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 · 149 KiB35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (149 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 77 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 77 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 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.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 169 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 430 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 430 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (172), other files 1,010 KiB (169) and images 679 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (7 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
27 text elements with low contrast
27 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 53 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 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “Friendly Loom”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (238 characters)
Your meta description is 238 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
179 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 179 pages on friendlyloom.com and 11 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://friendlyloom.com/.
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://friendlyloom.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 /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.
8 pages without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/potholders, /collections/bestsellers/Potholder, /collections/all/Potholder, /collections/tools-and-accessories/Potholder and /collections/potholder-patterns and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 5 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/bestsellers/Potholder, whose canonical is /collections/bestsellers/potholder. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
10 pages without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/potholders, /collections/bestsellers/Potholder, /collections/all/Potholder, /collections/potholder-loops and /collections/loop-bundles and 4 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 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed

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://friendlyloom.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.
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 (friendlyloom.com).
Valid certificate (58 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for friendlyloom.com and is valid for another 58 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://friendlyloom.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 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors; 3 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
friendlyloom.com 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
friendlyloom.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 7 years old
7 yearsfriendlyloom.com was registered in Apr 2019 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

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.
Only about 26 words
The homepage has only about 26 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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
12 calls to action
The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop by Skill Level”, “Shop Potholder Loom Kits” and “Shop Now”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be friendlyloom.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
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 8 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
