Speed
Render-blocking requests
350 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Improve image delivery
112 KiB4 images could be 112 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and Google Fonts), adding 55 KiB and 2 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

Mobile performance score: 94
94/100Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 117 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sYour largest element takes 2.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ECOMMERCE CONSULTING FOR AMBITIOUS BRANDS.”.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.28 g of CO₂e: 34.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1,024 KiB in 80 requests
1,024 KiBYour homepage downloads 1,024 KiB in 80 requests on a phone: other files 598 KiB (44), images 223 KiB (16) and scripts 83 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 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 (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (164 characters)
Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
36 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on knowndecimal.com and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Ecommerce consulting for Ambitious Brands.”.
Title: 48 characters
Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Known Decimal: Ruby on Rails and Shopify Experts”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://knowndecimal.com/.
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://knowndecimal.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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 (640 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://knowndecimal.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
https://knowndecimal.com/pages/about-us, https://knowndecimal.com/pages/case-studies-lcf, https://knowndecimal.com/pages/work and https://knowndecimal.com/blogs/points have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://knowndecimal.com/blogs/points, https://knowndecimal.com/blogs/points/gaining-operational-efficiency-during-a-recession-or-anytime, https://knowndecimal.com/blogs/points/better-button-css and https://knowndecimal.com/blogs/points/things-we-ve-learned-eighth-edition have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
