Speed
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 (Google Tag Manager, osano.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 71). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
979 KiBAbout 979 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 723 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (723 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
600 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 491 ms
491 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 491 ms of main-thread work and 660 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.
2,659 HTML elements
The page has 2,659 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
osano.com adds 254 ms
254 msosano.com costs a phone 254 ms of main-thread work and 109 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.
Klaviyo adds 169 ms
169 msKlaviyo costs a phone 169 ms of main-thread work and 346 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 186 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
178 KiB9 images could be 178 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
30 KiBAbout 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 366 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 366 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (132), other files 820 KiB (145) and images 652 KiB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.19 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.5 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
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 (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
8 H1 headlines
There are 8 <h1> headlines (“Your bag is empty”, “Product Title” and “New Era Branded”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (230 characters)
Your meta description is 230 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 3 is not valid JSON (Unexpected end of JSON input)”.
Invalid hreflang
Your hreflang tags are invalid, so Google may show the wrong language version.

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.

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.neweracap.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 5 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
https://www.neweracap.com/pages/outpost, https://www.neweracap.com/pages/halloween, https://www.neweracap.com/pages/just-caps-nfl-harvest, https://www.neweracap.com/pages/global-design-project, https://www.neweracap.com/pages/legacy-fan and https://www.neweracap.com/pages/josh have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
