Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Main-thread work: 5.8 s
A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,300 HTML elements
The page has 5,300 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 991 KiB32 images could be 991 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 251 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 29 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, cloudfront.net and Google Fonts and others), adding 143 KiB and 35 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
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: 24 ms
24 msYour server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.2 MB in 328 requests
7.2 MBYour homepage downloads 7.2 MB in 328 requests on a phone: images 5.4 MB (148), other files 733 KiB (82) and fonts 455 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
initial-disc-necklace-1-4-necklace-13512737062985.gif weighs 550 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
made-by-mary-earring-ember-baguette-drop-hoop-gold-onfigure- 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).
3 images in older formats
3 images (935 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 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.03 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.03 g of CO₂e: 243.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
36 links without text
36 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 156 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. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (85 characters)
Your title is 85 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Hand Stamped Disc Necklaces, Personalized Bar Necklaces | Made by Mary – Made By Mary”.
Meta description is long (269 characters)
Your meta description is 269 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (JewelryStore and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://checkout.madebymary.com)”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
244 internal links, 9 external

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,503 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://madebymary.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

5 JavaScript errors while loading

Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,060 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,060 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Track My Order”.
20 calls to action
The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “Shop All Jewelry”, “Shop All Personalized” and “Track My Order”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 15 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.
Opening hours shown

Risk reducer mentioned

9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (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.
37 cookies set on arrival
37Opening the homepage sets 37 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

52 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 52 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 madebymary.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 13 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
