Speed

14 to fix31
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.6 s · 1.8 MB

    About 1.8 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    4.1 s

    The page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 4.1 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Main-thread work: 11.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 11.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 3,302 HTML elements

    The page has 3,302 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Google CDN and others), adding 21.3 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 2.4 MB

    9 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 207 ms

    207 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 207 ms of main-thread work and 18.3 MB 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 707 ms

    707 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 707 ms of main-thread work and 1,017 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

    150 ms · 379 KiB

    40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (379 KiB).

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 345 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google CDN adds 261 ms

    261 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 766 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 273 ms

    273 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 55 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 239 ms

    239 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 398 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    135 KiB

    About 135 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    120 ms · 2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Document request latency

    100 ms

    The HTML itself could arrive about 100 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    53 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 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.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 27.6 MB in 736 requests

    27.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 27.6 MB in 736 requests on a phone: media 17.8 MB (4), scripts 4.2 MB (245) and images 2.8 MB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 7.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    7.84 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.84 g of CO₂e: 940.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9488
  • Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)

    Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 28 text elements with low contrast

    28 text elements don'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.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://kimcmarket.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://kimcmarket.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 12 pages without a meta description

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://kimcmarket.com/collections/all, https://kimcmarket.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://kimcmarket.com/collections/best-sellers, https://kimcmarket.com/collections/rice-noodles-grains, https://kimcmarket.com/collections/freshly-milled-rice and https://kimcmarket.com/collections/prepackaged-rice and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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 10 words

    The homepage has only about 10 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
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Shop Kimchi” and “Shop All Gamtae”.

  • 18 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 28 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (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 kimcmarket.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
