Speed

5 to fix69
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 309 KiB

    About 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

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    381 KiB

    17 images could be 381 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 149 ms

    149 ms

    rebuyengine.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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    4 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The 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

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 71 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 0.6 s

    0.6 s

    Real visitors wait 0.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 70 ms

    70 ms

    Real visitors wait 70 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.5 s

    0.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 319 ms

    319 ms

    Real visitors wait 319 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 33% faster for real visitors

    -33%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 77 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix40
  • 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 KiB

    5 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 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9696
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 10079
  • 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

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://johnsummitmerch.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 (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

5 to fix67
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    48 of 49 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “REGISTER” and “SHOP ALL”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Register”, “SHOP ALL” and “SHOP JOHN SUMMIT MERCH →”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 johnsummitmerch.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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
