Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 306 KiBAbout 306 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
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
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 772 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (staq-cdn.com, Shopify and shop.app and others), adding 502 KiB and 88 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).
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.

Speed Index: 4.9 s
4.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 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
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 49.9 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: 1.5 MB in 79 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 79 requests on a phone: scripts 694 KiB (21), other files 561 KiB (40) and fonts 102 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
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
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
6 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (3 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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 (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 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: 45 passed and 13 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (163 characters)
Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url is not an absolute URL ("htttps://joeriaknits.com")”.
242 internal links, 8 external

AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 3 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
3 checks passed
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,718 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'register')”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 55 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 840 words of copy
The homepage carries about 840 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Shop All - KnitPro”, “Shop All - ChiaoGoo” and “Shop HiyaHiya - Sets”.
7 short forms
7 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 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.
19 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 joeriaknits.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 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
