Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Main-thread work: 8.8 s
A phone's processor spends 8.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,544 HTML elements
The page has 5,544 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (gravity-software.com, rebuyengine.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
716 KiBAbout 716 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 425 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
rebuyengine.com adds 213 ms
213 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 680 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.
gravity-software.com adds 274 ms
274 msgravity-software.com costs a phone 274 ms of main-thread work and 49 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.
Shopify adds 193 ms
193 msShopify costs a phone 193 ms of main-thread work and 597 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 164 ms
164 msKlaviyo costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 376 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
204 KiB14 images could be 204 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
170 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (170 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
80 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 80 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB in 450 requests
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 450 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (146), images 1.1 MB (54) and other files 1.0 MB (174). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (195 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 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.37 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.37 g of CO₂e: 163.9 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
27 text elements with low contrast
27 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
23 tap targets too small
23 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (13 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
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 (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 8 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (282 characters)
Your meta description is 282 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
217 internal links, 21 external
The homepage links to 217 pages on nightmode.com and 21 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Your LEGO® build deserves to be seen”.

AI search readiness
4 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,817 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 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
10 pages without a meta description
/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/newest-products, /collections/lmb-2-0-light-kit, /collections/new-releases and /collections/best-selling-products and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
12 pages without an H1
/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/newest-products, /collections/lmb-2-0-light-kit, /collections/new-releases and /collections/best-selling-products and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/customer_authentication/redirect took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 86 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.lightmybricks.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

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.

Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

http:// redirects to https
http://nightmode.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.
All 49 links work
All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
lightmybricks.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 10 years old
10 yearslightmybricks.com was registered in Mar 2016 through Synergy Wholesale Accreditations Pty Ltd. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for lightmybricks.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Mar 2027
lightmybricks.com is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,986 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,986 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

Email authentication
No DMARC policy
nightmode.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.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 35/100
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.
