Speed

12 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 494 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (494 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 7.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 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, Google Tag Manager and jQuery CDN and others), adding 3.9 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 MB

    49 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 283 ms

    283 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 72 KiB

    About 72 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.

  • 2,985 HTML elements

    The page has 2,985 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 246 ms

    246 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 246 ms of main-thread work and 333 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.

  • customily.com adds 100 ms

    100 ms

    customily.com costs a phone 100 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.

  • LoyaltyLion adds 65 ms

    65 ms

    LoyaltyLion costs a phone 65 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 37 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 150 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).

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.1 MB in 428 requests

    6.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 428 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (54), scripts 2.2 MB (134) and other files 1.3 MB (213). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.72 g of CO₂e: 206.5 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

5 to fixGoogle 9494
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (6 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 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: 51 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • Meta description is long (175 characters)

    Your meta description is 175 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.

  • 322 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 322 pages on homewetbar.com and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “HomeWetBar”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Incredible Personalized Gifts Since 2004 - Home Wet Bar”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.homewetbar.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://www.homewetbar.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 description; sameAs (social profiles) and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,044 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /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

    /collections/coveted-pieces has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 107 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • 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 (homewetbar.com).

  • Valid certificate (62 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for homewetbar.com and is valid for another 62 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://homewetbar.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 45 links work

    All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    homewetbar.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 24 years old

    24 years

    homewetbar.com was registered in Nov 2001 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for homewetbar.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Nov 2028

    homewetbar.com is registered until Nov 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

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

  • 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 1,454 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,454 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: “SHOP SALE NOW”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop Now >”, “Shop Sale Now” and “Subscribe”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be homewetbar.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:198.61.129.149 ip4:142.0.186.245 include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:email-od.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

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, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

    Opening the homepage sets 21 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.

  • 50 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 50 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
