Speed

13 to fix41
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.3 s · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 693 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (693 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    1.5 s

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 1.5 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.2 s · 176 KiB

    About 176 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 9.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 4.5 MB

    35 images could be 4.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Google Tag Manager and Unpkg and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Clarity adds 402 ms

    402 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 402 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 309 ms

    309 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 540 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

    300 ms · 58 KiB

    58 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Google Maps adds 136 ms

    136 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 393 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 234 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).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 50 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: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 110 ms

    110 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.024

    0.024

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 30.1 MB in 560 requests

    30.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 30.1 MB in 560 requests on a phone: media 13.7 MB (4), images 10.2 MB (95) and scripts 4.0 MB (168). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    MOBILE_BANNER_1200x1440_6.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).

  • About 8.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    8.54 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.54 g of CO₂e: 1024.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 7784

  • 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 (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (3 elements)

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (3 elements)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 11 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 7781
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.mjbale.com/cdn/shop/files/FAVICON_fb76fdf0-ec3f-4…”.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Explore M.J. Bale's range of supremely-tailored men's suits, tuxedos, jackets, shirts, and more men's fashionwear onlin…”.

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Men's Suits, Tuxedos & Shirts | Men's Fashion | M.J. Bale”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.mjbale.com/en-gb.

  • 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.mjbale.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    41%

    The HTML your server sends has 208 of the 504 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.mjbale.com/en-gb/blogs/manual has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.mjbale.com/en-gb/blogs/manual has 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.

  • 1 internal page checked

    We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 1 page we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 504 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 504 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 NOW”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 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.

  • 26 cookies set on arrival

    26

    Opening the homepage sets 26 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.

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 mjbale.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
