Speed

11 to fix56
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and 506.io and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 797 ms

    797 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 797 ms of main-thread work and 528 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.

  • Font display

    500 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 439 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    366 KiB

    About 366 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Facebook adds 313 ms

    313 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 271 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 257 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (257 KiB).

  • 1,785 HTML elements

    The page has 1,785 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 24 KiB

    1 image could be 24 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    46 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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 JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix52
  • Time to Interactive: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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 image “Black t-shirt with a small graphic of two animals on the ch…”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 968 ms

    968 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 968 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 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 fix85
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 210 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 210 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (53), other files 806 KiB (115) and fonts 144 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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 to fixGoogle 9497
  • 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 (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 43 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: 43 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8571
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (26 characters)

    Your title is only 26 characters: “Peggy Gou | Official Store”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

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

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://goutalkmerch.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 9 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 9 pages on goutalkmerch.com and 9 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://goutalkmerch.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://goutalkmerch.com/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.

  • 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.

Other pages

  • Your server turned our page checks away

    2 pages we tried to fetch timed out or refused automated requests, so these checks couldn't run. Some firewalls do this to every bot, including search engine crawlers they don't recognise.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '}'”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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 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 47 words

    The homepage has only about 47 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Withdrawal Request”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Withdrawal Request” and “Contact”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 goutalkmerch.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 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Eg Auto Add To Cart

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
