Speed
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Shopify and 9gtb.com and others), adding 433 KiB and 594 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 204 KiBAbout 204 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 369 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Accessibe Accessibility Overlay adds 310 ms
310 msAccessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 310 ms of main-thread work and 250 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
37 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (37 KiB).
Improve image delivery
12 KiB1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 6 ms

Core Web Vitals
Total Blocking Time: 959 ms
959 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 959 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “InstaFire”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.8 s).
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.7 s
6.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
23 images without width and height
23 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 48.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 90 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 90 requests on a phone: scripts 609 KiB (22), other files 605 KiB (49) and images 124 KiB (12). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name

1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 9 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.instafire.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.instafire.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), 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.
3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (538 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 pages without a meta description
/pages/shop-collections, /collections/branded-apparel and /blogs/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/pages/shop-collections has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages with very little text
/pages/shop-collections, /collections/product-bundles and /collections/branded-apparel have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
