ihome.com website review

About 766 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ZenDesk and Shopify and others), adding 18.6 MB and 780 ms of main-thread time.

20 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 98 ms of main-thread work and 17.1 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.

Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 73). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (111 KiB).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 404 ms of main-thread work and 854 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.

About 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 340 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

ZenDesk costs a phone 185 ms of main-thread work and 391 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.

The page has 1,714 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 20.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Charge in Style Shop the Power Plant — our all-in-one charg…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 205 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 909 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 231 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 129 ms to 125 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 22.0 MB in 285 requests on a phone: media 16.7 MB (5), images 2.3 MB (38) and scripts 1.9 MB (100). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example new_realease_v2.png at 1,600 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 76 KiB.

1 image (71 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.25 g of CO₂e: 749.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 dropdown has no label.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 192 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 80 pages on ihome.com and 50 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

Your homepage links to /collections/all, /collections/vanity-mirror, /collections/accessories, /collections/new-vanity-mirrors, /collections/alarm-clocks and /products/travel-makeup-bag-with-led-mirror-and-adjustable-stand-icvs20, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

/collections/sales, /collections/trending and /collections/new-arrivals have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/collections/wireless-charging, /collections/bluetooth-alarm-clock, /collections/new-bluetooth-speakers, /collections/sales, /collections/trending and /collections/new-arrivals and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

11 of 47 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

10 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://ihome.com/collections/vanity-mirror (503).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

ihome.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.

ihome.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.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage carries about 773 words of visible text.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

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

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
