Speed

6 to fix63
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.5 s · 722 KiB

    43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (722 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 233 KiB

    About 233 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    850 ms · 366 KiB

    13 images could be 366 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    580 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Cloudflare and others), adding 246 KiB and 242 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 223 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 37 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    7 KiB

    7 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 526 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix61
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    Your largest element takes 10.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 251 ms

    251 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 251 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 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.

2 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix86
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    KR_new_arrivals_2_300x_v-1692990725.png 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).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    120 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Krypto_Header_Web_1880_x_720_Past_Present_Future_v-167831719 at 1,880 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 120 KiB.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (319 KiB) are 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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.37 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.3 MB in 86 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 86 requests on a phone: scripts 652 KiB (38), images 583 KiB (21) and stylesheets 60 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8390
  • 1 tap target too small

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

  • 10 images without alt text

    10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 7772
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (22 characters)

    Your title is only 22 characters: “Kryptonics Skateboards”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • 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.

  • 63 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 63 pages on kryptonics.com and 10 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.kryptonics.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://www.kryptonics.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://kryptonics.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.

1 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.

Other pages

1 to fix75
  • 12 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to https://kryptonics.com/collections/skateboards, https://kryptonics.com/pages/about, https://kryptonics.com/collections/completes, https://kryptonics.com/collections/cruisers, https://kryptonics.com/collections/longboards and https://kryptonics.com/collections/accessories and 6 others, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 32 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 1 page that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 17 small tap targets

    17 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to font at 'https://www.kryptonics.com/cdn/fonts/montserrat/montserrat_n4.1d581f6d4bf1a97f4cbc0b88b933bc136d38d1…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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 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 91 words

    The homepage has only about 91 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CLIKE HERE TO SHOP NOW ON AMAZON!” and “SHOP CRUISER”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “CLIKE HERE TO SHOP NOW ON AMAZON!” and “SHOP CRUISER”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 kryptonics.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
