Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 613 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (613 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 342 KiBAbout 342 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.7 s
A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 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 (HP Optimost, Google Tag Manager and sprinklr.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
HP Optimost adds 527 ms
527 msHP Optimost costs a phone 527 ms of main-thread work and 268 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 442 ms
442 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 442 ms of main-thread work and 263 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 389 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 36 KiBAbout 36 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.
sprinklr.com adds 159 ms
159 mssprinklr.com costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 402 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.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 29 KiB1 image could be 29 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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: 2.5 MB in 199 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 199 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (67), other files 716 KiB (75) and fonts 164 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Unlabelled dropdowns
4 dropdowns have no label.
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.
29 text elements with low contrast
29 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA input fields do not have accessible names
ARIA input fields do not have accessible names (2 elements).
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative
SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
20 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
1 link with vague text

AI search readiness

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 sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Other pages

3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 (hyperx.com).
Valid certificate (57 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for hyperx.com and is valid for another 57 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://hyperx.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 53 links work
All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
hyperx.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
hyperx.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 30 years old
30 yearshyperx.com was registered in Oct 1996 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2028
hyperx.com is registered until Oct 2028.
Content and conversion
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: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
Only about 10 words
The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Exclusions apply”, “Shop by Category” and “Go to Shop by Category”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 85/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:shops.shopify.com include:spf-s…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
