Speed

7 to fix71
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 659 KiB

    About 659 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 603 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (603 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 134 KiB

    6 images could be 134 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 106 KiB

    About 106 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Webkul adds 23 ms

    23 ms

    Webkul costs a phone 23 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Privy, Hotjar and Google CDN and others), adding 879 KiB and 285 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    141 KiB

    141 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 69 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).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 658 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Your largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.2 s

    15.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 22 images without width and height

    22 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.

3 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

  • 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 21 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 280 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 280 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (72), other files 1.0 MB (151) and images 676 KiB (32). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (201 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (76 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.94 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 113.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8290
  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • 41 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 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.

  • 7 form fields without a label

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

  • 6 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (2 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7787
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 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.

  • 65 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 65 pages on modernvice.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “Free shipping and exchanges on our custom, made to order, designer footwear at modernvice.com. Shop designer boots, san…”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Designer boots, sandals & shoes for women by Modern Vice”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.modernvice.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://www.modernvice.com/sitemap.xml.

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.

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 (522 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

1 to fix0
  • 5 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to /collections/the-bolt, /collections/the-jetts, /collections/bowie, /collections/best-sellers and /collections/new-aw-2019, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 17 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: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix86
  • 9 broken links to your own pages

    9 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.modernvice.com/collections/the-bolt (404).

  • 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 (modernvice.com).

  • Valid certificate (81 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for modernvice.com and is valid for another 81 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://modernvice.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

  • DNSSEC is off

    modernvice.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 15 years old

    15 years

    modernvice.com was registered in Aug 2011 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for modernvice.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    modernvice.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 157 words

    The homepage has only about 157 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “Shop Women's”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Shop” and “Shop All Shoes”.

  • 4 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    modernvice.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 45/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.registeredsite.com include:spf.cloudus.oxcs.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and 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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 2 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.

  • 40 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 40 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 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
