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: 8.9 s
A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,625 HTML elements
The page has 5,625 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 (Shopify, Yotpo and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.1 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
550 ms · 420 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (420 KiB).
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
150 ms · 682 KiBAbout 682 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 588 ms
588 msShopify costs a phone 588 ms of main-thread work and 728 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
150 ms · 294 KiB15 images could be 294 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Yotpo adds 372 ms
372 msYotpo costs a phone 372 ms of main-thread work and 460 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 293 ms
293 msKlaviyo costs a phone 293 ms of main-thread work and 515 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 309 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 118 KiBAbout 118 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
53 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
36 KiB36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Core Web Vitals
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: 24.1 s
24.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 24.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.9 s
8.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s
1.3 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sYour largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Tap response (INP) got 22% slower for real visitors
+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 136 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 1.8 s
1.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
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 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 285 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 285 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (117), images 1.2 MB (53) and other files 415 KiB (92). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
20261023_hero_mobile_bridal.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 131.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
32 links without text
32 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Nina Shoes | Wedding Shoes | Bridal Shoes | Dress Shoes | Kids Shoes”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Women’s Shoes & Bags for Every Occasion”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (293 characters)
Your meta description is 293 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.
297 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 297 pages on ninashoes.com and 3 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://ninashoes.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://ninashoes.com/sitemap.xml.
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 (747 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://ninashoes.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://ninashoes.com/discount/EXTRA20 declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://ninashoes.com/discount/EXTRA20 all use the title “Nina Shoes | Wedding Shoes | Bridal Shoes | Dress Shoes | Kids Shoes”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
https://ninashoes.com/collections/homecoming, https://ninashoes.com/collections/flats-wedges and https://ninashoes.com/collections/glam-suedes have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
11 pages without an H1
https://ninashoes.com/collections/all-shoes, https://ninashoes.com/collections/bridal-shoes, https://ninashoes.com/collections/new-arrivals, https://ninashoes.com/collections/best-sellers, https://ninashoes.com/collections/satin-shop and https://ninashoes.com/collections/pumps and 5 others have 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 107 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed

Best practices

4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
178 of 197 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
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 599 words of copy
The homepage carries about 599 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop by Category”, “Shop by Size” and “Join”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
12 trackers load before any consent
12Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 7 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.
43 cookies set on arrival
43Opening the homepage sets 43 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (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.
63 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 63 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 ninashoes.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
