Speed

12 to fix54
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5.5 s · 1.0 MB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    2.8 s · 792 KiB

    9 images could be 792 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 361 KiB

    About 361 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 74). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Shopify and Hubspot and others), adding 1.8 MB and 701 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 43 KiB

    About 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Facebook adds 303 ms

    303 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 303 ms of main-thread work and 288 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.

  • 1,752 HTML elements

    The page has 1,752 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 129 ms

    129 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 129 ms of main-thread work and 440 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.

  • Attentive adds 64 ms

    64 ms

    Attentive costs a phone 64 ms of main-thread work and 789 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.2 s

    23.2 s

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 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: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

  • 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: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 586 ms

    586 ms

  • Total Blocking Time: 164 ms

    164 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 343 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 343 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (35), scripts 1.4 MB (128) and other files 876 KiB (157). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    stitching-edited.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    132 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example stitching-edited.png at 2,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 132 KiB.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 155.3 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

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 17 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 17 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 17 passed and 0 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (188 characters)

    Your meta description is 188 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 199 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 199 pages on kimberbell.com and 17 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Kimberbell”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Easy to Make Machine Embroidery Projects | Kimberbell Designs”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://kimberbell.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://kimberbell.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,260 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://kimberbell.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://kimberbell.com/pages/coming-soon-for-shops and https://kimberbell.com/pages/tiny-hugs-initiative have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://kimberbell.com/pages/coming-soon-for-shops and https://kimberbell.com/pages/kimberbell-me-collections 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 95 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 15 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 40 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 40 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
