functionallyfrivolous.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 85
85/100Your mobile performance score is 85. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 107 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 64 KiB and 26 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Improve image delivery
5 KiB1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 323 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sYour largest element takes 3.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is element render delay (1.7 s).
Speed Index: 5.1 s
5.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.1 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.
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.
3 checks passed
Time to Interactive: 3.6 s
3.6 sThe page is fully interactive after 3.6 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 57 ms
57 msScripts block the page for only 57 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 35.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.1 MB in 128 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 128 requests on a phone: other files 711 KiB (71), scripts 171 KiB (36) and images 69 KiB (1). 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 0 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

The homepage links to 24 pages on functionallyfrivolous.com and 3 external pages.
7 checks passed

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.
1 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.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /blogs/what-were-up-to, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
3 pages without a meta description
/pages/meshpainter, /pages/weld-group-analysis and /collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages with very little text
/pages/meshpainter and /pages/weld-group-analysis have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (functionallyfrivolous.com).
Valid certificate (72 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for functionallyfrivolous.com and is valid for another 72 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://functionallyfrivolous.com redirects to the secure version.

All 13 links work
All 13 links checked from your homepage (11 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
functionallyfrivolous.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
functionallyfrivolous.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 1 year old
1 yearfunctionallyfrivolous.com was registered in Feb 2025 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Feb 2027
functionallyfrivolous.com is registered until Feb 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
Only about 60 words
The homepage has only about 60 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact” and “Contact information”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
No SPF record
functionallyfrivolous.com 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.
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be functionallyfrivolous.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.
Domain receives no email
functionallyfrivolous.com 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: 25/100
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.
