Speed

16 to fix28
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6.5 s · 2.2 MB

    90 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.2 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.1 s · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.6 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.

  • Font display

    3.0 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).

  • Main-thread work: 11.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 11.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 28

    28/100

    Your mobile performance score is 28 (desktop: 53). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (px-cloud.net, Google Tag Manager and getmetrical.com and others), adding 2.4 MB and 3.6 s of main-thread time.

  • px-cloud.net adds 975 ms

    975 ms

    px-cloud.net costs a phone 975 ms of main-thread work and 120 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

    750 ms · 165 KiB

    About 165 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 718 ms

    718 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 718 ms of main-thread work and 582 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.

  • getmetrical.com adds 584 ms

    584 ms

    getmetrical.com costs a phone 584 ms of main-thread work and 185 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    464 KiB

    19 images could be 464 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 367 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 328 ms

    328 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 221 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.

  • Quantum Metric adds 336 ms

    336 ms

    Quantum Metric costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 98 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.

  • 2,845 HTML elements

    The page has 2,845 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 149 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 149 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    22 KiB

    22 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 53 but mobile only 28. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix0
  • Page weight: 6.2 MB in 389 requests

    6.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 389 requests on a phone: scripts 3.4 MB (93), fonts 1.3 MB (22) and images 1,021 KiB (80). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.75 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.75 g of CO₂e: 210.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fix72
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 25 links without text

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

  • 16 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes

    Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes (2 elements).

  • <html> element does not have a valid value for its [lang] attribute.

    <html> element does not have a valid value for its [lang] attribute. (1 element).

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative

    SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative (3 elements).

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 101 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9291
  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 413 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 413 pages on lanebryant.com and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “The latest looks in plus size clothing for women are just a click away at Lane Bryant. Shop trendy tops, pants, stylish…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “ALL Panties Now 7 Free When you buy 4”.

  • Title: 42 characters

    Your title is a healthy 42 characters: “Plus Size Clothing for Women | Lane Bryant”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.lanebryant.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://www.lanebryant.com/sitemap_index.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 /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

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 120 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5484
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“`StorageType.persistent` is deprecated. Please use standardized `navigator.storage` instead.”).

  • 3 console errors

    3 errors were logged to the browser console during Google's test (“Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TIMED_OUT”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.lanebryant.com/lanebryantcreditcard?intid=lb_global_offers_credit30off_20261001.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (lanebryant.com).

  • Valid certificate (181 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 verifies for lanebryant.com and is valid for another 181 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://lanebryant.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    lanebryant.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    lanebryant.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 31 years old

    31 years

    lanebryant.com was registered in Jan 1995 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2027

    lanebryant.com is registered until Jan 2027.

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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • A 9-field form

    Your longest form asks for 9 fields (3 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 4,693 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 4,693 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • 87 calls to action

    The homepage has 87 calls to action, for example “check order status”, “JOIN REWARDS” and “Online only. Clothing 50% Off Shop now”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:knitwellgroup.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
