Speed

9 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.9 s · 547 KiB

    About 547 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.0 s · 215 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (215 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 1.9 MB

    25 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. 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 (Google CDN, sibforms.com and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.1 MB and 627 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 415 ms

    415 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 415 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,585 HTML elements

    The page has 1,585 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    140 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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 JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Your largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “An assortment of personalized barware gifts from Mancrates”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.2 s

    13.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 201 ms

    201 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 201 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 81 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 73 ms

    73 ms

    Real visitors wait 73 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 398 ms

    398 ms

    Real visitors wait 398 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix62
  • Page weight: 6.0 MB in 223 requests

    6.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 223 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (88), scripts 1.2 MB (57) and other files 963 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    image_processing20240923-66-b1i79u.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).

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (401 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (71 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.70 g of CO₂e: 204.3 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

4 to fixGoogle 9795
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)

    Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (22 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 61 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Title is short (25 characters)

    Your title is only 25 characters: “Man Crates – Thoughtfully”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 181 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 181 pages on mancrates.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 134 characters

    Your meta description is 134 characters: “When life calls for the celebration of your manly man, and gift baskets, gift boxes, and gift cards just won’t do, ther…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Man Crates”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.thoughtfully.com/collections/mancrates.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.thoughtfully.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (956 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.thoughtfully.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.thoughtfully.com/collections/new-arrivals has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 76 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 12 small tap targets

    12 of 45 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://sibforms.com/forms/end-form/build/sib-styles.css' from origin 'https://www.thought…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 470 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 470 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop All” and “Shop”.

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop Now” and “Shop”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 21 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 21 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 mancrates.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
