Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 572 KiBAbout 572 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 270 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (270 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.3 MB and 488 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 18 ms
18 msShopify costs a phone 18 ms of main-thread work and 342 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
150 ms · 86 KiB5 images could be 86 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 234 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 234 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (96), other files 773 KiB (110) and images 146 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (314 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
17 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
16 links without text
16 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (175 characters)
Your meta description is 175 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.magic-mountain.co.uk/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
144 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 144 pages on magic-mountain.co.uk and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 65 characters
Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Magic Mountain: Official Clearance Website for Mountain Equipment”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.magic-mountain.co.uk/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.magic-mountain.co.uk/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 (767 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 16 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
