Speed

10 to fix74
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • 5,269 HTML elements

    The page has 5,269 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 683 KiB

    17 images could be 683 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Klarna and others), adding 1.3 MB and 424 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    515 KiB

    About 515 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 152 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (152 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 163 ms

    163 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 708 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 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).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 64 ms

    64 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 64 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Your largest element takes 8.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.2 s

    14.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 44% slower for real visitors

    +44%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 128 ms to 186 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 8 images without width and height

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

11 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 186 ms

    186 ms

    Real visitors wait 186 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.06

    0.06

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.06 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 429 ms

    429 ms

    Real visitors wait 429 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 54 ms

    54 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 54 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 421 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 421 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (144), images 1.1 MB (38) and other files 1.1 MB (191). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    enki-november-sale-mobile.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    204 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Black-Square-Plaza-Basin-Tap.webp at 2,000 px wide, shown at 175 px. Resized copies would save about 204 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (117 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.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.13 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9694
  • 14 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have 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.

  • 13 form fields without a label

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (12 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), 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. (20 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 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.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 420 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 420 pages on houseofenki.com and 8 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 147 characters

    Your meta description is 147 characters: “Shop House of Enki for independent, stylish bathroom taps, showers, and accessories. Affordable prices, premium quality…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “HOUSE OF ENKI”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Premium UK Bathroom Fixtures & Free UK Delivery - Enki”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Store and WebSite.

  • 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://houseofenki.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://houseofenki.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.

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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,058 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

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

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://houseofenki.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://houseofenki.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://houseofenki.com/collections/house-of-enki-black-friday-deals have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://houseofenki.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://houseofenki.com/collections/house-of-enki-black-friday-deals have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 182 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “jQuery is not defined”.

  • 12 distorted images

    12 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    61 of 62 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 1,497 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,497 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Shop by Colour”, “Shop by Range” and “Shop Now”.

  • 15 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

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

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 2 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.

  • 39 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 39 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 houseofenki.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 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
