Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB on a phone, 457 KiB of it images (11%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.1 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

7 to fix91
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 71 form fields without a label

    71 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 99 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,706 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://johnmalecki.com/collections/apparel, https://johnmalecki.com/collections/accessories-1, https://johnmalecki.com/collections/bundle-save, https://johnmalecki.com/pages/check-your-entries and https://johnmalecki.com/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://johnmalecki.com/collections/apparel, https://johnmalecki.com/collections/digital-plans, https://johnmalecki.com/collections/accessories-1, https://johnmalecki.com/collections/bundle-save, https://johnmalecki.com/pages/check-your-entries and https://johnmalecki.com/collections/all have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
