Speed
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 KiB27 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 KiB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (222 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 250 KiBAbout 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
65/100Your 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 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Shopify adds 229 ms
229 msShopify 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 msKlaviyo 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Total Blocking Time: 17 ms
17 msScripts block the page for only 17 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.1 MB in 668 requests
7.1 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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.

Best practices
5 JavaScript errors while loading

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
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
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before 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
20Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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
