Speed

10 to fix37
  • iubenda adds 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    iubenda costs a phone 2.1 s of main-thread work and 287 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6,248 HTML elements

    The page has 6,248 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (iubenda, Shopify and Trusted Shops and others), adding 1.1 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 1.3 MB

    21 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 139 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (139 KiB).

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 407 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Shopify adds 299 ms

    299 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 299 ms of main-thread work and 486 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    97 KiB

    About 97 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 67 ms

    67 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 67 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Your largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 653 ms

    653 ms

    Real visitors wait 653 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 183 ms to 150 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 9.9 MB in 351 requests

    9.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.9 MB in 351 requests on a phone: images 7.5 MB (101), scripts 1.1 MB (135) and other files 966 KiB (105). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 30 images below the first screen load straight away

    30 images further down the page (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.81 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.81 g of CO₂e: 337.3 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

9 to fixGoogle 7888
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Hidden but focusable

    41 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 17 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 44 links without text

    44 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9290
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 389 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 389 pages on masons.it and 13 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Mason's: Italian tailoring excellence since 1974, crafting trousers that will be part of your story. Premium fabrics, d…”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Mason's | Italian Tailored Trousers | Official Store”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://us.masons.it/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://us.masons.it/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), 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.

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 (3,608 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://us.masons.it/collections/fall-winter-man, https://us.masons.it/collections/mens-winter-pants, https://us.masons.it/collections/mens-winter-chino-pants, https://us.masons.it/collections/mens-winter-cargo-pants and https://us.masons.it/collections/new-york have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 165 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 8 distorted images

    8 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    31 of 38 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix69
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 642 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 642 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: “Learn more”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Back Shop By Model”, “Back Shop By Fit” and “Shop By Model”.

  • 48 short forms

    48 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (iubenda) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: iubenda

    A consent management tool (iubenda) loads with the page.
