Speed

10 to fix72
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, Intercom and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.0 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 541 KiB

    About 541 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 316 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Hotjar adds 279 ms

    279 ms

    Hotjar costs a phone 279 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    284 KiB

    17 images could be 284 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Intercom adds 260 ms

    260 ms

    Intercom costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.

  • 1,807 HTML elements

    The page has 1,807 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    100 ms · 26 KiB

    26 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    77 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (77 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix69
  • Time to Interactive: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Your largest element takes 4.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “DESIGNER AREA & WASHABLE RUGS”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 510 ms

    510 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 510 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

2 checks passed
  • 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

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.6 MB in 288 requests

    3.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 288 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (76), scripts 1.2 MB (90) and other files 790 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Rectangular_Brush_Strocke_Rust_Blue_Header.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.01 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9192
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (16 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 115 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10087
  • Meta description is long (167 characters)

    Your meta description is 167 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 191 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 191 pages on ginzasix.com and 4 external pages.

5 checks passed

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,272 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.ginzasix.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678

2 checks passed

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 845 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 845 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop All Rugs”, “Shop Style” and “Shop Color”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 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.

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 ginzasix.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
