Speed

13 to fix33
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 1.7 MB

    About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 596 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (596 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.0 s · 261 KiB

    About 261 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 259 KiB

    5 images could be 259 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,583 HTML elements

    The page has 3,583 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 (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Azure Web Services and others), adding 1.8 MB and 442 ms of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 596 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 245 ms

    245 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 245 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.

  • Azure Web Services adds 69 ms

    69 ms

    Azure Web Services costs a phone 69 ms of main-thread work and 651 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.

  • ctfassets.net adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    ctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 580 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

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user INP: 596 ms

    596 ms

    Real visitors wait 596 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.41

    0.41

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.41 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.1 s

    31.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Your largest element takes 9.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 40% slower for real visitors

    +40%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 347 ms to 481 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.057

    0.057

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.057, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.3 MB in 147 requests

    5.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 147 requests on a phone: scripts 3.4 MB (32), images 922 KiB (40) and other files 588 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    75 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example outlet-homepage-new-style-1-96dpi.jpg at 1,664 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 75 KiB.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (241 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (70 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.49 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.49 g of CO₂e: 179.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8492
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9273
  • No H1 headline

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

  • 35 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 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 (20 characters)

    Your meta description is only 20 characters: “Home description ...”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.midocean.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 73 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 73 pages on midocean.com and 7 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Solo midocean | Personalised Promotional Gifts”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/home.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.midocean.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.

2 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 (288 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix57
  • 2 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/content/product-compliance and https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/compare, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur and https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/home all use the title “Solo midocean | Personalised Promotional Gifts”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/content/challenging-all-lead-times, https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/content/your-unique-product-always, https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mto.yourchoice-zid1mto_MBTN07 and https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mto.yourchoice-zid1mto_ML1173 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 8 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 8 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mo3170-13-zid10248277, whose canonical is https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/drink-lunchware/mugs-tumblers/tumblers-double-wall/mo3170-13-zid10248277. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/home, https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/content/challenging-all-lead-times, https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/content/your-unique-product-always, https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mto.yourchoice-zid1mto_MBTN07 and https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mto.yourchoice-zid1mto_ML1173 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mto.yourchoice-zid1mto_MBTN07 and https://www.midocean.com/export/us/eur/mto.yourchoice-zid1mto_ML1173 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 47 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Every page has a meta description

    All 13 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 15 small tap targets

    15 of 36 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.

  • 3 distorted images

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 340 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 340 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Repeat order” and “Quick Order”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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