Speed

10 to fix65
  • Main-thread work: 6.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,489 HTML elements

    The page has 4,489 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 860 KiB

    27 images could be 860 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    950 ms · 222 KiB

    39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (222 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 250 KiB

    About 250 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. 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 (Shopify, JSDelivr CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.1 MB and 600 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Shopify adds 229 ms

    229 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 925 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 112 ms

    112 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 112 ms of main-thread work and 328 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 · 36 KiB

    About 36 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 30.9 s

    30.9 s

    Your largest element takes 30.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 34.0 s

    34.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 34.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 15.4 s

    15.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors wait 3.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 52% slower for real visitors

    +52%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 142 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 145 ms

    145 ms

    Real visitors wait 145 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 586 ms

    586 ms

    Real visitors wait 586 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.018, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 17 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 7.1 MB in 668 requests

    7.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 668 requests on a phone: other files 2.8 MB (290), images 1.9 MB (53) and scripts 1.6 MB (265). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Desktop_slider_size_f3d59d38-636a-4c0d-8008-66bf39dd26a7.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 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.01 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.01 g of CO₂e: 241.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8991
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 53 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (4 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 6 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 9278
  • Title is long (81 characters)

    Your title is 81 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “J.Cole Shoes | Tulsa | Stillwater | Women's Shoes, Clothes, Gifts – J. Cole Shoes”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Women's Clothing Boutique & Shoe Store in Tulsa &…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (320 characters)

    Your meta description is 320 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.

  • 316 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 316 pages on jcoleshoes.com and 17 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage, 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://www.jcoleshoes.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 (2,816 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/sweet-grace-sent, https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/all-weather, https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/slippers, https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/alohas, https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/free-people-1 and https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/livy-lu and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/free-people-1, whose canonical is https://www.jcoleshoes.com/collections/free-people. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 142 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'inlineFormJavascript')”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    58 of 65 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • No social proof

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 1,604 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,604 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 SALE HERE” and “Shop Fall Finds”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “SHOP SALE HERE”, “Shop Fall Finds” and “Shop Game Day”.

  • 15 short forms

    15 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 48 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 48 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 jcoleshoes.com, 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 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads
