Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 309 KiBAbout 309 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: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
381 KiB17 images could be 381 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
rebuyengine.com adds 149 ms
149 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 149 ms of main-thread work and 660 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 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Shopify and brevo.com and others), adding 874 KiB and 211 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
10 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 501 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.5 s
10.5 sYour largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “CTRL ESCAPE Hamilton Tee”.
Time to Interactive: 10.7 s
10.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
12 images without width and height
12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
0326JohnSummitRedRocksWebMocks-02c-white.gif weighs 614 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
5 images far larger than shown
990 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 0326JohnSummitRedRocksWebMocks-02c-white.gif at 800 px wide, shown at 133 px. Resized copies would save about 990 KiB.
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 183 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 183 requests on a phone: scripts 752 KiB (56), other files 750 KiB (94) and images 448 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (1.2 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
43 text elements with low contrast
43 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
20 links without text
20 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “John Summit”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is short (11 characters)
Your meta description is only 11 characters: “John Summit”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“JOHN SUMMIT” and “CTRL ESCAPE”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("Liquid error (snippets/global-json line 52): invalid ur…”.
72 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 72 pages on johnsummitmerch.com and 12 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://johnsummitmerch.com/.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found

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 (288 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://johnsummitmerch.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://johnsummitmerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://johnsummitmerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://johnsummitmerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
14 pages share a meta description
https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/tees, https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/outerwear, https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/accessories, https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/vinyl, https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/shop-all and https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/john-summit-new-arrivals and 8 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://johnsummitmerch.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://johnsummitmerch.com/collections/all-john-summit-products have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
Only about 191 words
The homepage has only about 191 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.

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 johnsummitmerch.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
