Speed

14 to fix43
  • Main-thread work: 14.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 14.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • accessibilityassistant.com adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    accessibilityassistant.com costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 314 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 5,983 HTML elements

    The page has 5,983 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 (accessibilityassistant.com, greenmile.ai and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 5.2 MB and 3.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 MB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.5 MB

    23 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • greenmile.ai adds 826 ms

    826 ms

    greenmile.ai costs a phone 826 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 862 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 608 ms

    608 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 608 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 388 ms

    388 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 388 ms of main-thread work and 926 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 372 ms

    372 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 372 ms of main-thread work and 354 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

    150 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    83 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 83 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    43 KiB

    43 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Speed Index: 21.9 s

    21.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 21.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 38.3 s

    38.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 38.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Real-user INP: 222 ms

    222 ms

    Real visitors wait 222 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors

    +26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 152 ms to 192 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 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: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 773 ms

    773 ms

    Real visitors wait 773 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • 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: 7.7 MB in 290 requests

    7.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.7 MB in 290 requests on a phone: scripts 3.6 MB (108), images 2.7 MB (38) and other files 617 KiB (111). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    26-Wk40--DoubleBlock-2.jpg 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).

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    91 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 26-Wk38--DoubleBlock-28.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 91 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (39 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.17 g of CO₂e: 260.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9091
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Form elements must have labels (1 element)

    Form elements must have labels: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 6 tap targets too small

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 67 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (203 characters)

    Your meta description is 203 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 212 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 212 pages on kitandace.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Kit + Ace: Always Works.”.

  • Title: 38 characters

    Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “Kit + Ace: Always Works. – Kit and Ace”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.kitandace.com/en-us.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://www.kitandace.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (897 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/womens-clothing, https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/the-office-edit-womens and https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/the-celina-collection have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/promo-sale, https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/mens-new-arrivals, https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/womens-new-arrivals, https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/womens-clothing, https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/womens-sweaters and https://www.kitandace.com/en-us/collections/featured-womens and 9 others 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 94 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “analytics is not defined”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    189 of 202 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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.

  • About 1,307 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,307 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 42 calls to action

    The homepage has 42 calls to action, for example “Shop All Women”, “Shop Sweaters” and “Shop all Featured”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 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.

  • 56 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 56 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 kitandace.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
