Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 1.3 MB28 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 19.8 s
A phone's processor spends 19.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Google Tag Manager and Freshchat and others), adding 2.4 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 777 ms
777 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 777 ms of main-thread work and 518 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.
Clarity adds 786 ms
786 msClarity costs a phone 786 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
730 KiBAbout 730 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Freshchat adds 633 ms
633 msFreshchat costs a phone 633 ms of main-thread work and 857 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
643 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (643 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 506 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 294 ms
294 msFacebook costs a phone 294 ms of main-thread work and 272 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.
2,705 HTML elements
The page has 2,705 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 211 ms
211 msKlaviyo costs a phone 211 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
Reduce unused CSS
72 KiBAbout 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.8 s
12.8 sYour largest element takes 12.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 35.1 s

Real-user INP: 251 ms
251 msReal visitors wait 251 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 37% slower for real visitors
+37%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 203 ms to 288 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s
1.0 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
19 images without width and height
19 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.7 MB in 542 requests
7.7 MBYour homepage downloads 7.7 MB in 542 requests on a phone: images 3.1 MB (86), scripts 2.5 MB (122) and other files 1.6 MB (272). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
pyjama_p5_generique_3.jpg weighs 515 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
11 images far larger than shown
1,011 KiB11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example pyjama_p5_generique_3.jpg at 2,048 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1,011 KiB.
12 images below the first screen load straight away
12 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.17 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.17 g of CO₂e: 260.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
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.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
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.
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (45 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 45 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Mid-Season Sale | 30–50% Off for the Whole Family | Kiabi – Kiabi KSA”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
228 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 228 pages on kiabi.sa and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 158 characters
Your meta description is 158 characters: “Big smiles, small prices! Get 30–50% off selected styles for women, men, kids and babies in the Kiabi Mid-Season Sale. …”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://kiabi.sa/.
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://kiabi.sa/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,732 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://kiabi.sa/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
https://kiabi.sa/pages/wishlist, https://kiabi.sa/pages/stores, https://kiabi.sa/collections/shoes-accessories, https://kiabi.sa/collections/outlet and https://kiabi.sa/collections/mid-season-sale-kiabi have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://kiabi.sa/pages/wishlist has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
9 pages slow to respond
https://kiabi.sa/collections/new-arrival, https://kiabi.sa/pages/wishlist, https://kiabi.sa/pages/stores, https://kiabi.sa/pages/womens-collection, https://kiabi.sa/pages/mens-collection and https://kiabi.sa/pages/girls-collection and 3 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Best practices
10 broken images

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.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No risk reducer

About 861 words of copy
The homepage carries about 861 words of visible text.
Urgency cues

4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.
24 cookies set on arrival
24Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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