Speed

5 to fix67
  • Improve image delivery

    13.1 s · 2.5 MB

    5 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 13.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,003 HTML elements

    The page has 2,003 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and Bootstrap CDN and others), adding 157 KiB and 20 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 634 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.4 s

    19.4 s

    Your largest element takes 19.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “_img_slide”.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.4 s

    19.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 39 images without width and height

    39 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 178 ms

    178 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 178 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.055

    0.055

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.055, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix35
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 116 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 116 requests on a phone: images 2.9 MB (13), other files 656 KiB (63) and scripts 247 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    home_gym_ware.jpg weighs 2.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    2.5 MB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home_gym_ware.jpg at 4,778 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 2.5 MB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (31 KiB) is 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (31 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.14 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.14 g of CO₂e: 136.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

17 to fixGoogle 5577
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (5 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

    4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (40 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 40 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.

  • 14 form fields without a label

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

  • 6 links without text

    6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • 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.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 70 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 17 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8580
  • 124 links crawlers can't follow

    124 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • Title is long (80 characters)

    Your title is 80 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Gym Ware | Gym Gear | Active Wear | Yoga Equip - Melbourne Australia – augymware”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“augymware” and “GYMWARE - HOME GYM EQUIPMENT”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 144 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 144 pages on gymware.com.au and 0 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “We are an online Gym Ware Store based in Melbourne with a wide range of gym gear, active wear, yoga equipment & much mo…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://gymware.com.au/.

  • 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://gymware.com.au/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.

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 (958 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7788
  • 15 small tap targets

    15 of 44 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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 (gymware.com.au).

  • Valid certificate (74 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for gymware.com.au and is valid for another 74 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://gymware.com.au 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 28 links work

    All 28 links checked from your homepage (28 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    gymware.com.au 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.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • 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 773 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 773 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GO TO THE SHOP” and “Shop now”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Go to the shop” and “Register now”.

  • 8 short forms

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

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • No DMARC policy

    gymware.com.au has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • 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: 40/100

    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 mx include:netblocks.dreamhost.com include:relay.mailchannels.net -all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
