Speed

5 to fix68
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 476 KiB

    About 476 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.2 s · 743 KiB

    8 images could be 743 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Fonts and shop.app), adding 2.3 MB and 424 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 424 ms

    424 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 MB 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

    150 ms · 24 KiB

    About 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 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).

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 578 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 132 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 132 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (23), scripts 853 KiB (38) and other files 661 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 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: 113.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8794
  • 8 images without alt text

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

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 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.

  • 45 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on monsterstore.com and 8 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 101 characters

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://monsterstore.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 11 pages without a meta description

    https://monsterstore.com/collections/headphones, https://monsterstore.com/collections/speakers, https://monsterstore.com/collections/party-speakers, https://monsterstore.com/collections/monster-power, https://monsterstore.com/collections/monster-gaming and https://monsterstore.com/collections/cables and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    https://monsterstore.com/collections/headphones, https://monsterstore.com/collections/speakers, https://monsterstore.com/collections/party-speakers, https://monsterstore.com/collections/monster-power, https://monsterstore.com/collections/monster-gaming and https://monsterstore.com/collections/cables and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 6 pages with very little text

    https://monsterstore.com/collections/headphones, https://monsterstore.com/collections/speakers, https://monsterstore.com/collections/party-speakers, https://monsterstore.com/collections/monster-power, https://monsterstore.com/collections/monster-gaming and https://monsterstore.com/collections/archive-products 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 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • 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.

  • 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 142 words

    The homepage has only about 142 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.

2 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “SHOP ALL”, “Learn More” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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