Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB on a phone, 3.1 MB of it images (48%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
3ffb2c10a306a0b7c47f9e0a31e20163886f5521-628x628.gif weighs 934 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (212 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 218.4 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
13 tap targets too small
13 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 1 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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
117 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 117 pages on loveamika.com and 18 external pages.
6 checks passed

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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://loveamika.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 (654 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Security, domain, email and software versions
