Speed
Improve image delivery
14.1 s · 5.6 MB6 images could be 5.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 14.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 931 KiBAbout 931 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 8.2 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 565 ms
565 msShopify costs a phone 565 ms of main-thread work and 6.3 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.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 67 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 67 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 311 ms
311 msKlaviyo costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 527 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 292 ms
292 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 673 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
300 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 314 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
tidio.co adds 134 ms
134 mstidio.co costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 515 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 · 13 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
100 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit
2.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.74 g of CO₂e: 328.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Kiwi Underglaze”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
85 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 85 pages on kiwiunderglaze.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 102 characters

Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
robots.txt in place

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 (1,016 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://kiwiunderglaze.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Red, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Orange, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Yellow, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Green and https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Blue and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
7 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 7 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Red, whose canonical is https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/red. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
14 pages without an H1
https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Red, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Orange, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Yellow, https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Green and https://kiwiunderglaze.com/collections/all/Blue and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
