Speed

5 to fix76
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    30 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 76

    76/100

    Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    590 ms · 131 KiB

    About 131 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 875 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,066 HTML elements

    The page has 2,066 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    290 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    165 KiB

    5 images could be 165 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook and Google Fonts), adding 116 KiB and 69 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    5 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 5 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 53 ms

    53 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 53 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Your largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Questo sito usa cookies per migliorare la tua esperienza di…”.

  • Real-user TTFB: 966 ms

    966 ms

    Real visitors wait 966 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 85 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 99 ms

    99 ms

    Real visitors wait 99 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (140 KiB) are 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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.37 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.3 MB in 91 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 643 KiB (39), images 467 KiB (17) and stylesheets 161 KiB (30). That is a lean page.

  • 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

7 to fixGoogle 8091
  • 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.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (147 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 147 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.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings should not be empty (2 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9276
  • Title is short (11 characters)

    Your title is only 11 characters: “Gbl Guitars”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (3 characters)

    Your meta description is only 3 characters: “Oxy”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 412 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 412 pages on gblguitars.it and 1 external page.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.gblguitars.it/.

  • 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://www.gblguitars.it/wp-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.gblguitars.it/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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,320 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.gblguitars.it/carrello is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 15 pages share a meta description

    https://www.gblguitars.it/wishlist, https://www.gblguitars.it/carrello, https://www.gblguitars.it/categoria-prodotto/ultimi-arrivi, https://www.gblguitars.it/categoria-prodotto/ultimi-arrivi/nuove-elettriche, https://www.gblguitars.it/categoria-prodotto/ultimi-arrivi/nuove-acustiche and https://www.gblguitars.it/categoria-prodotto/ultimi-arrivi/nuovi-ampli and 9 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.gblguitars.it/wishlist and https://www.gblguitars.it/carrello 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 198 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 83 small tap targets

    83 of 154 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “$(...).prettyPhoto is not a function”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

    3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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: 1 customer or partner logo. 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.

  • 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.

  • About 858 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 858 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Fender Custom Shop”, “FENDER CUSTOM SHOP” and “C.SHOP POSTMODERN TELE HS 2023”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at gblguitars.it, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
