Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Main-thread work: 7.5 s
A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Clarity and others), adding 3.0 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 691 ms
691 msShopify costs a phone 691 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 382 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (382 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 180 KiBAbout 180 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
448 KiB4 images could be 448 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Klaviyo adds 326 ms
326 msKlaviyo costs a phone 326 ms of main-thread work and 524 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.
1,926 HTML elements
The page has 1,926 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
azurefd.net adds 74 ms
74 msazurefd.net costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
35 KiB35 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 530 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 530 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (266), images 1.3 MB (44) and other files 1.2 MB (179). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
360 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Pads_v5.webp at 2,000 px wide, shown at 172 px. Resized copies would save about 360 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (448 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.67 g of CO₂e: 200.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
37 links without text
37 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Every image has alt text
All 71 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Security and trust
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.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (heelys.com).
Valid certificate (46 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for heelys.com and is valid for another 46 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://heelys.com 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 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 3 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
heelys.com 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.
DNSSEC is off
heelys.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 26 years old

Registered until Jun 2031
heelys.com is registered until Jun 2031.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 290 words of copy
The homepage carries about 290 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be heelys.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
