One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.1 s · 934 KiB9 images could be 934 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 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 (Google Tag Manager, Snapchat and Attentive and others), adding 591 KiB and 279 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 34 KiBAbout 34 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
137 KiBAbout 137 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
114 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (114 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills 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.

Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s
8.1 sYour largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 8.8 s
8.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
19 images without width and height
19 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Speed Index: 3.7 s
3.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.
3 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 113 ms
113 msScripts block the page for only 113 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
4 images far larger than shown
807 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rings2.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 191 px. Resized copies would save about 807 KiB.
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 245 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 245 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (26), other files 1.1 MB (150) and scripts 648 KiB (57). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (328 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.91 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.91 g of CO₂e: 109.1 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.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
11 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores 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.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “koholako”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
56 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 56 pages on koholako.com and 9 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 157 characters
Your meta description is 157 characters: “Handmade ocean jewelry from Kauai, Hawaii. Shop gemstone bracelets, rings, and gifts inspired by sea life. A portion of…”.
Title: 51 characters
Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Koholako® | Ocean Gemstone Bracelets, Rings & Gifts”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://koholako.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://koholako.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 (580 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://koholako.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://koholako.com/products/orca-whale-bracelet and https://koholako.com/collections/best-sellers/products/orca-whale-bracelet all use the title “Orca Whale Bracelet | Save the Whales | Koholako”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://koholako.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://koholako.com/products/orca-whale-bracelet and https://koholako.com/collections/best-sellers/products/orca-whale-bracelet use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
6 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 6 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://koholako.com/collections/best-sellers/products/maui-sticker-pack, whose canonical is https://koholako.com/products/maui-sticker-pack. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
Only about 231 words
The homepage has only about 231 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
4 checks passed
8 calls to action

3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place

24 cookies set on arrival
24Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
