Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.2 s · 719 KiBAbout 719 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
10,944 HTML elements
The page has 10,944 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 6.9 s
A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 934 KiB42 images could be 934 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and joy.so and others), adding 1.9 MB and 813 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 324 ms
324 msShopify costs a phone 324 ms of main-thread work and 903 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 319 ms
319 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 319 ms of main-thread work and 617 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
200 ms · 89 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (89 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 164 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
14 KiB14 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 13 ms

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.7 s
15.7 sYour largest element takes 15.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Crispi Hunting Boot Father's Day Sale”.
Time to Interactive: 18.1 s
18.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 670 ms
670 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 670 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 245 ms
245 msReal visitors wait 245 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors
+17%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 164 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.031
0.031The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.031, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.4 MB in 527 requests
5.4 MBYour homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 527 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (114), scripts 1.8 MB (145) and other files 1.1 MB (215). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
First_Lite_Mobile.png 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
57 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example crispi-logo-orange-stacked_1_1.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 80 px. Resized copies would save about 57 KiB.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.52 g of CO₂e: 182.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
262 text elements with low contrast
262 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
11 tap targets too small
11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
184 links without text
184 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “Mountain Archery”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, ImageObject and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
295 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 295 pages on mountain-archery.com and 15 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “Offering Hoyt, Mathews, King's Camo Clothing, Mystery Ranch and Stone Glacier Packs, Spot Hogg Sights, Gold Tip Arrows,…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mountain-archery.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://mountain-archery.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://mountain-archery.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (2,172 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a title
https://mountain-archery.com/collections/crispi-hunting-boots and https://mountain-archery.com/collections/first-lite-hunting-apparel have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
2 pages without a meta description
https://mountain-archery.com/collections/crispi-hunting-boots and https://mountain-archery.com/collections/first-lite-hunting-apparel have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
https://mountain-archery.com/collections/all, https://mountain-archery.com/collections/crispi-hunting-boots and https://mountain-archery.com/collections/first-lite-hunting-apparel have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
