Speed

2 to fix88

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 88

    88/100

    Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 324 KiB and 124 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    74 KiB

    About 74 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 66 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    64 KiB

    4 images could be 64 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    4 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.

2 checks passed

  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 285 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix85

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Quick Turn - Orders under 288 units ship in 48 hours.”.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

4 checks passed

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • Speed Index: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 16 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.0 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 164 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 164 requests on a phone: other files 683 KiB (82), scripts 355 KiB (42) and images 250 KiB (10). 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

2 to fixGoogle 9797

  • 10 text elements with low contrast

    10 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 (2 elements)

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

2 checks passed

  • Every image has alt text

    All 12 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 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 22 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 22 pages on keepitsimple.co and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed

  • Meta description: 82 characters

    Your meta description is 82 characters: “Create fully customized apparel without compromising on quality. It’s that simple.”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Keep It Simple Custom Provisions – Keep it Simple”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://keepitsimple.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://keepitsimple.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
3 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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://keepitsimple.co/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://keepitsimple.co/pages/sustainability has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://keepitsimple.co/pages/catalog and https://keepitsimple.co/pages/sustainability have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://keepitsimple.co/pages/catalog and https://keepitsimple.co/pages/contact-us have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 7 internal pages checked

    We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed

  • Linked pages load

    6 pages of 7 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 10 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 “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71

  • 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 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 140 words

    The homepage has only about 140 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.

4 checks passed

  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “CONTACT US”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 keepitsimple.co, 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 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.
