Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and avada.io and others), adding 2.1 MB and 267 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 60 ms
60 msShopify costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
Google CDN adds 147 ms
147 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 147 ms of main-thread work and 298 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 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
165 KiBAbout 165 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 156 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 45 KiB4 images could be 45 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
41 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (41 KiB).
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.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 216 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 216 requests on a phone: media 1.3 MB (1), other files 772 KiB (92) and scripts 685 KiB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Melody in a Box”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is short (43 characters)
Your meta description is only 43 characters: “Customized songs. Created by real musicians”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Melody in a Box is powered by two lifelong perfor…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("tiktok.com/@melody_inabox")”.

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://melodyinabox.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://melodyinabox.com/tiktok.com/@melody_inabox, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
7 pages without a meta description
https://melodyinabox.com/collections/all, https://melodyinabox.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://melodyinabox.com/products/starter-jingle, https://melodyinabox.com/policies/privacy-policy, https://melodyinabox.com/policies/refund-policy and https://melodyinabox.com/policies/terms-of-service and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://melodyinabox.com/products/starter-jingle has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://melodyinabox.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://melodyinabox.com/policies/contact-information have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
