Speed

11 to fix57
  • Shopify adds 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Shopify costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1.6 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Main-thread work: 6.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.6 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 484 KiB

    About 484 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 715 ms

    715 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 715 ms of main-thread work and 537 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 381 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 320 ms

    320 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 320 ms of main-thread work and 231 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    324 KiB

    8 images could be 324 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1,547 HTML elements

    The page has 1,547 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    238 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (238 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    16 KiB

    About 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 9 ms

    9 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.4 s

    16.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Your largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Sailor in a yellow waterproof jacket and Mustang Survival i…”.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 84% slower for real visitors

    +84%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 132 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 147 ms

    147 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 204 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 204 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (107), images 1.1 MB (43) and other files 88 KiB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (101 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9698
  • 10 tap targets too small

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 75 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Meet The Next Generation of Inflatable PFDs” and “Meet The Next Generation of Inflatable PFDs”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 10 links with vague text

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

  • 122 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 122 pages on mustangsurvival.com and 17 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Explore Mustang Survival for inflatable PFDs, life jackets, dry suits, flotation clothing, and technical marine outerwe…”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “PFDs, Life Jackets, Dry Suits & Marine Gear | Mustang Survival”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://mustangsurvival.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://mustangsurvival.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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://mustangsurvival.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 (682 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://mustangsurvival.com/dealer-locator and https://mustangsurvival.com/products/gift-card have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://mustangsurvival.com/dealer-locator has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9278
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=56343285&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=2d7fa2cc-bcda-43ee-ad1f-38fd3d83020b&bo=1&sid=168cc010d90d11f1a0c0f1fe278d0348&vid=168cf2d0d90d11f186d61ff3953e84e1&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

1 to fix92

    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 580 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 580 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More.” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Learn More.”, “Contact Us” and “Subscribe to our YouTube channel”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 2 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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 mustangsurvival.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
