hakshop.com website review

About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.5 s faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Shopify and richpanel.com and others), adding 3.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

YouTube costs a phone 704 ms of main-thread work and 2.1 MB 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.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (343 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 307 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Shopify costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 543 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.

The page has 2,602 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Hexton costs a phone 35 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.

16 images could be 243 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

About 96 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

The first text or image appears after 12.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 23.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 31.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 206 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 162 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 13.6 MB in 328 requests on a phone: media 7.7 MB (2), scripts 3.2 MB (89) and images 1.1 MB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.85 g of CO₂e: 462.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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.

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

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

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your meta description is 270 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://shop.hak5.org/search?q={search_term_string}")”.

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

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

The homepage links to 189 pages on hakshop.com and 38 external pages.

https://shop.hak5.org/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://shop.hak5.org/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://shop.hak5.org/pages/community, https://shop.hak5.org/customer_authentication/redirect, https://shop.hak5.org/policies/shipping-policy, https://shop.hak5.org/pages/wifi-pineapple-collection, https://shop.hak5.org/products/wifi-pineapple-enterprise and https://shop.hak5.org/pages/pentest-software-collection and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://shop.hak5.org/products/wifi-pineapple-pager, whose canonical is https://shop.hak5.org/products/pager. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://shop.hak5.org/customer_authentication/redirect, https://shop.hak5.org/pages/wifi-pineapple-collection and https://shop.hak5.org/pages/pentest-software-collection have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 79 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

26 of 61 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 478 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (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.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 34 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
