Speed

3 to fix61
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 214 KiB

    6 images could be 214 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, YouTube and Shopify and others), adding 221 KiB and 74 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    6 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 253 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix51
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.574

    0.574

    The layout shifts by 0.574 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

2 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 3 images far larger than shown

    139 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example slideshow_1.jpg at 1,880 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 139 KiB.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (61 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.49 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.49 g of CO₂e: 58.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 161 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 161 requests on a phone: other files 742 KiB (80), images 501 KiB (27) and scripts 278 KiB (31). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8389
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Frames without titles

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 4 form fields without a label

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8572
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “Kill Jane”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 14 links crawlers can't follow

    14 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 41 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 41 pages on killjane.com and 3 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://killjane.com/.

  • 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://killjane.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix63
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /pages/wish-list, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 3 pages share a title

    /products/workout-fitness-headband-navy, /products/workout-fitness-headband-coral and /products/workout-fitness-headband-white all use the title “KillJane Womens Workout Headband - Sports Running Exercise Sweatband …”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 9 pages without a meta description

    /collections/headbands, /collections/clothing, /pages/contact, /blogs/news, /collections and /products/tee-black and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 pages with very little text

    /pages/contact, /collections, /products/tee-black, /products/tee-red, /products/hoodie-grey and /products/hoodie-blue 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6580
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://killjane.com/.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Pasting is blocked

    A form field blocks pasting, which frustrates password managers and people on phones.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    28 of 32 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix86
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://killjane.com/pages/wish-list (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (killjane.com).

  • Valid certificate (45 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for killjane.com and is valid for another 45 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://killjane.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    killjane.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    killjane.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 9 years old

    9 years

    killjane.com was registered in Jul 2017 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    killjane.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix71
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 133 words

    The homepage has only about 133 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: “CONTACT”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Shop The Collection arrrow” and “Contact Us”.

  • 11 short forms

    11 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    killjane.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 45/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:zoho.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “zoho”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info

Upkeep, stack and company

  • The footer still says © 2017.
  • It loads jQuery 1.8.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
