Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
2.7 sThe page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 2.7 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Document request latency
300 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 300 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
2,545 HTML elements
The page has 2,545 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 45 ms
45 msShopify costs a phone 45 ms of main-thread work and 461 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
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 469 KiB and 46 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
61 KiB10 images could be 61 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Main-thread work: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 352 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.5 s
9.5 sYour largest element takes 9.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 9.5 s
9.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.029
0.029The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.029, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 328 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 328 requests on a phone: other files 834 KiB (102), images 690 KiB (52) and scripts 442 KiB (93). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
FreeToBeFree_Hero_Image_1920x700_RWxNLk.webp 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).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.3 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
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 84 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 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
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (7 characters)
Your title is only 7 characters: “Macrosw”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (Product) but with 3 problems, for example “Product: missing name”.
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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
362 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 362 pages on macrosw.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed

AI search readiness

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 (1,623 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://macrosw.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
