Speed

8 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 427 KiB

    About 427 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 157 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (157 KiB).

  • 3,391 HTML elements

    The page has 3,391 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    950 ms · 217 KiB

    9 images could be 217 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

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

  • Shopify adds 330 ms

    330 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 330 ms of main-thread work and 553 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 798 ms 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, customily.com and wsy400.com and others), adding 742 KiB and 382 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 108 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    16 KiB

    16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    Your largest element takes 14.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.1 s

    14.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 240 ms

    240 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 240 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 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).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 179 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 179 requests on a phone: scripts 901 KiB (45), images 846 KiB (41) and other files 675 KiB (77). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.75 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 90.4 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

6 to fixGoogle 8291
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 19 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), 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).

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Welcome to Hugcustom”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 74 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 74 pages on hugcustom.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 89 characters

    Your meta description is 89 characters: “Embrace personalized fashion at www.hugcustoms.com,where your style becomes truly unique.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Hugcustom”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://www.hugcustom.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    37%

    The HTML your server sends has 431 of the 1,173 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

2 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.

  • 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
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /collections/gift-for-mom, /collections/fathers-day-gift, /collections/gifts-for-grandma and /collections/for-babies have 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 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    5 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.

  • 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 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://option.ymq.cool/option/bottom.css' from origin 'https://www.hugcustom.com' has bee…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    56 of 57 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 26 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 1,173 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,173 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Apply discount code”, “Contact Us” and “Order Tracking”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 hugcustom.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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
