Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 405 KiBAbout 405 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, ZenDesk and Klaviyo and others), adding 8.7 MB and 580 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 167 ms
167 msShopify costs a phone 167 ms of main-thread work and 7.8 MB 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
914 KiB21 images could be 914 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 125 KiBAbout 125 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 118 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (118 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
ZenDesk adds 159 ms
159 msZenDesk costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.
1,534 HTML elements
The page has 1,534 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
10 ms · 9 KiB9 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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.8 MB in 340 requests
10.8 MBYour homepage downloads 10.8 MB in 340 requests on a phone: images 8.1 MB (43), scripts 1.4 MB (146) and other files 938 KiB (126). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images far larger than shown
4.9 MB11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example United_4_Rubble_V2_11ca83ca-daef-43cb-a07a-053645221c54.png at 2,048 px wide, shown at 15 px. Resized copies would save about 4.9 MB.
5 images over 500 KB
5 images weigh 4.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
PORTRAIT_CONTENT_3x4_1.jpg 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (55 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 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.07 g of CO₂e: 368.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (6 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
18 tap targets too small
18 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 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.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 2 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.
Title is short (9 characters)
Your title is only 9 characters: “MCM House”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is short (35 characters)
Your meta description is only 35 characters: “MCM HOUSE - INSPIRED BY A LIFESTYLE”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
538 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 538 pages on mcmhouse.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.mcmhouse.com/.
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://www.mcmhouse.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (578 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
/collections/black-friday, /collections/in-stock-sale, /collections/black-friday-living, /collections/black-friday-dining, /collections/black-friday-bedroom and /collections/black-friday-outdoor and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/collections/black-friday, /products/loyalty-membership, /collections/in-stock-sale, /pages/showrooms, /pages/trade and /collections/black-friday-living and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 203 words
The homepage has only about 203 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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

24 cookies set on arrival
24Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
