Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 307 KiBAbout 307 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 456 KiB9 images could be 456 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and loox.io and others), adding 1.4 MB and 706 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Shopify adds 364 ms
364 msShopify costs a phone 364 ms of main-thread work and 746 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 131 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (131 KiB).
2,201 HTML elements
The page has 2,201 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 136 ms
136 msKlaviyo costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 328 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
170 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 73 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 427 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 427 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (180), other files 1.1 MB (197) and images 795 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
IMG_3828_2.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 far larger than shown
198 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example dd2e13b1-6d42-4b40-9eee-eff4e669563e.jpeg at 1,919 px wide, shown at 185 px. Resized copies would save about 198 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (216 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.03 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.03 g of CO₂e: 124.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn'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 (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail 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
57 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 57 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (176 characters)
Your meta description is 176 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
77 internal links, 16 external
The homepage links to 77 pages on minibricks.com and 16 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Minibricks”.
Title: 48 characters
Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Minibricks® | Design and build your dream garage”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://minibricks.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: FAQPage.
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://minibricks.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 (631 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
2 pages without a meta description
/pages/our-story and /pages/designing-process have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
/products/auto-repair-shop, /products/toyota-land-cruiser-78, /products/mystery-car-set, /pages/our-story and /pages/designing-process have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://minibricks.com/apps/manuals?customerId (500).
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (minibricks.com).
Valid certificate (61 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for minibricks.com and is valid for another 61 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://minibricks.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
minibricks.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
minibricks.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 21 years old
21 yearsminibricks.com was registered in Feb 2005 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Feb 2027
minibricks.com is registered until Feb 2027.
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.
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.
Only about 231 words
The homepage has only about 231 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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SUBSCRIBE NOW”.
13 calls to action
The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop now” and “Subscribe Now”.
7 short forms
7 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.minibricks.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before 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). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
18 cookies set on arrival
18Opening the homepage sets 18 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.
46 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 46 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
