Speed

9 to fix67
  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (commoninja.com, Shopify and POWr and others), adding 3.3 MB and 398 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • commoninja.com adds 242 ms

    242 ms

    commoninja.com costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 373 KiB

    8 images could be 373 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    343 KiB

    About 343 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    331 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (331 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 772 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 80 ms

    80 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 80 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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

    150 ms · 110 KiB

    About 110 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.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 19.1 s

    19.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • 42 images without width and height

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.207

    0.207

    The layout shifts by 0.207 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

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

9 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: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 89 ms

    89 ms

    Real visitors wait 89 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (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: 674 ms

    674 ms

    Real visitors wait 674 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.0 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 62 ms

    62 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 62 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix33
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 383 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 383 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (54), other files 1.3 MB (201) and scripts 1.1 MB (103). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images far larger than shown

    768 KiB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1694029273635_The_Social_Logo.png at 700 px wide, shown at 194 px. Resized copies would save about 768 KiB.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (1.1 MB) are 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Hero_Banner_2_1.png 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).

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 169.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8893
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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 (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (17 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8584
  • Meta description is long (318 characters)

    Your meta description is 318 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.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 129 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 129 pages on ices.cool and 13 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “ICES Landing Page – Ice Cream Equipment Specialists”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ices.cool/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://ices.cool/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 sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (680 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://ices.cool/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

    https://ices.cool/collections/all 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 72 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    2 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 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    22 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 460 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 460 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Facebook Join our community” and “Whatsapp Talk to a real person”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Shop Products”, “Request A Quote” and “Newsletter Sign Up”.

  • 4 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 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 ices.cool, 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 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
