Speed

6 to fix65
  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 107 KiB

    About 107 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 156 KiB

    About 156 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 717 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,658 HTML elements

    The page has 2,658 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 185 KiB

    12 images could be 185 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 36 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and nfcube.com and others), adding 339 KiB and 164 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 109 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 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: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Your largest element takes 9.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “2026 Best Selling Gifts!”.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 105 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 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 visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 152 ms

    152 ms

    Real visitors wait 152 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user TTFB: 543 ms

    543 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 109 ms

    109 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 109 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 193 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 193 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (70), other files 603 KiB (54) and scripts 545 KiB (57). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    DTC_Mobile_Banner_R1_28b08619-c7e0-4a61-be93-7bbd6eff40b6.jp 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).

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9393
  • 13 text elements with low contrast

    13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 117 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • No structured data

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

  • 288 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 288 pages on knockknockstuff.com and 11 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Knock Knock clever desk accessories, office stuff, fill-in-the-blank books, gifts & affirmation cards. Bring humor, cre…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Knock Knock”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Knock Knock® - Clever Office & Desk Stuff, Gifts & Books”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://knockknockstuff.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://knockknockstuff.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://knockknockstuff.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (483 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix53
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/knock-knock-pads, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages share a title

    https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/knock-knock-kids and https://knockknockstuff.com/pages/kids all use the title “Knock Knock Kids”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/bestsellers, https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/knock-knock-notepads, https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/knock-knock-kids, https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/books-book-related, https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/journals-planners and https://knockknockstuff.com/pages/kids have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://knockknockstuff.com/pages/kids, whose canonical is https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/knock-knock-kids. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://knockknockstuff.com/collections/knock-knock-kids and https://knockknockstuff.com/pages/kids 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 71 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 96100
  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    73 of 91 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

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

  • 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.

  • About 350 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 350 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Buy 3+ Classic Pads, Get 25% Off!” and “Buy 5+ Sticky Notes, Get 25% Off!”.

  • 19 calls to action

    The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Buy 3+ Classic Pads, Get 25% Off!”, “Buy 5+ Sticky Notes, Get 25% Off!” and “Shop”.

  • 55 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 knockknockstuff.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
