Speed

9 to fix52
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.6 s · 751 KiB

    About 751 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    4.5 MB

    11 images could be 4.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 134 KiB

    About 134 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Judge.me and Shopify and others), adding 1.5 MB and 714 ms of main-thread time.

  • YouTube adds 420 ms

    420 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 420 ms of main-thread work and 987 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 74 ms

    74 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 367 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    44 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 29.0 s

    29.0 s

    Your largest element takes 29.0 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: 30.3 s

    30.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 24 images without width and height

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.108

    0.108

    The layout shifts by 0.108 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 63 ms

    63 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 63 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix28
  • Page weight: 8.2 MB in 258 requests

    8.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.2 MB in 258 requests on a phone: images 5.3 MB (49), scripts 1.4 MB (53) and other files 929 KiB (131). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    4.1 MB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example OPMS_Product_Poster.png at 3,456 px wide, shown at 330 px. Resized copies would save about 4.1 MB.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 3.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (4.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (115 KiB) are 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 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.32 g of CO₂e: 278.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7789
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 2 links without text

    2 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
  • 49 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: 49 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8577
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “MIT Wholesale. Your direct store for MIT45 & Super K! – MITwholesale”.

  • Meta description is long (214 characters)

    Your meta description is 214 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 66 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on mitwholesale.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://mitwholesale.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://mitwholesale.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,569 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://mitwholesale.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix0
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://mitwholesale.com/collections/mit-freeze-fire, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 6991
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 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 404 ()”.

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    25 of 27 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 1,480 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,480 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Join Our Savings List” and “Contact Us”.

  • 13 short forms

    13 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 133 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 21 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 21 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 mitwholesale.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 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
