Speed
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 saccessibilityassistant.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
43/100Your 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 MB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.5 MB23 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 MBAbout 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 msgreenmile.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 ms3 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 msGoogle 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 msrebuyengine.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 msKlaviyo 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 83 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
43 KiB43 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 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.
Speed Index: 21.9 s
21.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 21.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 38.3 s
38.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 38.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 3.2 s
3.2 sScripts 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 sYour 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 msReal 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).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.7 MB in 290 requests
7.7 MBYour 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 KiB4 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 gBy 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
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
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

AI search readiness
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
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.

Content and conversion
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
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before 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
18Opening 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.
