Speed

4 to fix92
  • Improve image delivery

    2.3 MB

    8 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 96 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (96 KiB).

  • 2,050 HTML elements

    The page has 2,050 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    170 ms · 110 KiB

    About 110 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Bold Commerce, Shopify and shop.app), adding 160 KiB and 106 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 79 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    44 KiB

    About 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 92

    92/100

    Your mobile performance score is 92. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 525 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 13 images without width and height

    13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 78 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 451 ms

    Real visitors wait 451 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.2 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “SHOP BY CATEGORY”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 34 ms

    34 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 34 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix55
  • Page weight: 4.7 MB in 126 requests

    4.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 126 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (24), other files 626 KiB (63) and scripts 356 KiB (32). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    OrbitCulture_DeathAboveLifeDeluxeEdition_19958456501_2LP_Art weighs 1.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (367 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.34 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.34 g of CO₂e: 160.4 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

10 to fixGoogle 7185
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

    4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • Title is short (17 characters)

    Your title is only 17 characters: “Night Shift Merch”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 372 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 372 pages on nightshiftmerch.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 130 characters

    Your meta description is 130 characters: “T-shirts, hoodies, hats, patches, flags, albums and more from bands The Black Dahlia Murder, Napalm Death, Pig Destroye…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Night Shift Merch”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.nightshiftmerch.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://www.nightshiftmerch.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,204 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 to fix95
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    /collections/all, /collections/shirts, /collections/t-shirts, /collections/long-sleeves, /collections/raglans and /collections/tanks and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 195 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    30 of 37 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/nightshiftmerch.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (nightshiftmerch.com).

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for nightshiftmerch.com and is valid for another 48 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://nightshiftmerch.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 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    nightshiftmerch.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 7 years old

    7 years

    nightshiftmerch.com was registered in Jun 2019 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, ssl.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for nightshiftmerch.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jun 2031

    nightshiftmerch.com is registered until Jun 2031.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • 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.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 850 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 850 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact” and “Subscribe”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

3 to fix25
  • No SPF record

    nightshiftmerch.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be nightshiftmerch.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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: 25/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
