nightshiftmerch.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
2.3 MB8 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms5 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 KiB4 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 KiBAbout 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 msWeb 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 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.7 MB in 126 requests
4.7 MBYour 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 gBy 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.

SEO
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

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
8 pages without a meta description

Valid certificate (48 days left)

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

Certificate issuers are restricted

nightshiftmerch.com is registered until Jun 2031.
Content and conversion
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
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.

10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
