One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
2.1 s · 587 KiB13 images could be 587 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
2,910 HTML elements
The page has 2,910 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
skynettechnologies.com adds 45 ms
45 msskynettechnologies.com costs a phone 45 ms of main-thread work and 419 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (skynettechnologies.com, shgcdn3.com and Hexton and others), adding 605 KiB and 122 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Reduce unused JavaScript
113 KiBAbout 113 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
58 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (58 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
53 KiBAbout 53 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied 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.

Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 372 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s
5.6 sYour largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.6 s
10.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.0 s
4.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.107
0.107The layout shifts by 0.107 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
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: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 6 ms
6 msScripts block the page for only 6 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 256 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 256 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (27), other files 928 KiB (127) and scripts 498 KiB (71). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (32 KiB) is 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 100.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Arts & Crafts Supplies, DIY Projects, Videos & More! – Kid Made Modern”.
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to kidmademodern.com, not mademodern.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
70 internal links, 24 external
The homepage links to 70 pages on mademodern.com and 24 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 154 characters

llms.txt published

Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://mademodern.com/products/kid-made-modern-arts-crafts-collection-parent, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without an H1
https://mademodern.com/collections/all-products has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 201 words
The homepage has only about 201 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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

8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

Security, domain, email and software versions
