Speed

4 to fix83
  • Mobile performance score: 83

    83/100

    Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 255 KiB

    About 255 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    350 ms · 182 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (182 KiB).

  • Shopify adds 44 ms

    44 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 44 ms of main-thread work and 365 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 · 152 KiB

    6 images could be 152 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (cdn-spurit.com, pre-ordersales.com and Shopify and others), adding 687 KiB and 222 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    100 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 100 ms.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 94 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    36 KiB

    36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    29 KiB

    About 29 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 698 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 47 ms

    47 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 47 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix78
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

    7 images 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 35 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.2 MB in 181 requests

    5.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 181 requests on a phone: media 2.8 MB (1), other files 718 KiB (84) and images 690 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.47 g of CO₂e: 176.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

8 to fixGoogle 7786
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    3 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 8 tap targets too small

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • <dt> and <dd> elements must be contained by a <dl> (2 elements)

    <dt> and <dd> elements must be contained by a <dl>: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • <dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements (1 element)

    <dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 47 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: 47 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “Meph Heads – MG Merch”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (223 characters)

    Your meta description is 223 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 5 links crawlers can't follow

    5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 47 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 47 pages on meph-heads.com and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “<img src="//www.meph-heads.com/cdn/shop/files/MephHeadslogo_160x.png?v=1641487222" srcset="//www.meph-heads.com/cdn/sho…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.meph-heads.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Product 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.meph-heads.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.meph-heads.com/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.

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.

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

Other pages

100
  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    2 pages of 14 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 2 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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: 19 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 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 275 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 275 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 HOODIES”.

  • 17 calls to action

    The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop All” and “Contact Us”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 meph-heads.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
