Render-blocking requests
1.2 s14 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
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 683 KiB17 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 KiBAbout 515 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 152 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (152 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 50 KiBAbout 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 msShopify 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 KiB8 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.8 s
8.8 sYour 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 sThe 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 421 requests
4.0 MBYour 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 KiB2 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 gBy 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
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).

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
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

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
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
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.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

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

15 cookies set on arrival
15Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

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.
