Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
580 ms · 825 KiBAbout 825 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, rebuyengine.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 863 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (863 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
route.com adds 369 ms
369 msroute.com costs a phone 369 ms of main-thread work and 717 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 329 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
288 KiB5 images could be 288 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 190 ms
190 msShopify costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 921 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 208 ms
208 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 208 ms of main-thread work and 703 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.
1,914 HTML elements
The page has 1,914 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 145 ms
145 msKlaviyo costs a phone 145 ms of main-thread work and 314 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
117 KiBAbout 117 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
104 KiB104 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
71 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 71 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Time to Interactive: 25.0 s
25.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 25.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 13.4 s
13.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 13.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sThe first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user INP: 207 ms
207 msReal visitors wait 207 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 33% slower for real visitors
+33%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 153 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 479 ms
479 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 479 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The countdown to the 2027 All-Star Game at Wrigley Field st…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.6 s).
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, 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).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.2 MB in 548 requests
5.2 MBYour homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 548 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (211), other files 1.3 MB (276) and images 808 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.48 g of CO₂e: 177.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Ivy Shop | Chicago Cubs Gear & Apparel | Wrigley Field Gear & Apparel”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Ivy Shop” and “The Ivy Shop Mystery Bag”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (244 characters)
Your meta description is 244 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.
173 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 173 pages on ivyshop.com and 15 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set

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

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

Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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

Security, domain, email and software versions
