Speed

8 to fix
  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 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 (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and ZenDesk and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Signyfyd adds 723 ms

    723 ms

    Signyfyd costs a phone 723 ms of main-thread work and 258 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 237 ms

    237 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 237 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.

  • 2,634 HTML elements

    The page has 2,634 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • ZenDesk adds 187 ms

    187 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 187 ms of main-thread work and 430 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.

  • Shopify adds 94 ms

    94 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 617 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 116 ms

    116 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 103 ms to 111 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 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 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: 0.9 s

  • Real-user INP: 130 ms

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 322 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 322 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (118), images 1.3 MB (29) and other files 1.0 MB (138). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Incycle_Sale_Bikes_Mobile_10.23_ee17e46c-213a-4b61-9754-0ac3 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).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    141 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Incycle_Sale_Bikes_Mobile_10.23_ee17e46c-213a-4b61-9754-0ac3 at 1,500 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 141 KiB.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 154.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 43 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 6 images without alt text

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

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 30 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 52 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: 52 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8581
  • Title is long (89 characters)

    Your title is 89 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Welcome to the Incycle Marketplace! Specialized, Scott, Pivot and more – Incycle Bicycles”.

  • Meta description is long (309 characters)

    Your meta description is 309 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 471 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 471 pages on incycle.com and 0 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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.incycle.com/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 (1,365 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /pages/affirm-financing has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    /collections/pre-owned-bikes/mountain, /collections/pre-owned-bikes/road and /collections/pre-owned-bikes/gravel use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /collections/deal-of-the-week, /collections/sale-equipment, /pages/affirm-financing, /collections/pre-owned-bikes/mountain, /collections/hardtail-mountain-bikes and /collections/full-suspension-mountain-bikes and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /collections/bmx-bikes and /collections/mountain-framesets took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 199 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 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 “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    18 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (incycle.com).

  • Valid certificate (53 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for incycle.com and is valid for another 53 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://incycle.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 40 links work

    All 40 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 0 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    incycle.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    incycle.com was registered in Feb 1999 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    incycle.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Feb 2032

    incycle.com is registered until Feb 2032.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • 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 606 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 606 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Shop All Sale”, “Shop All Bikes” and “Demo”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No SPF record

    incycle.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be incycle.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 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.

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
