Speed
4,567 HTML elements
The page has 4,567 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 401 KiB16 images could be 401 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and synctrack.io and others), adding 1.4 MB and 434 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 268 ms
268 msShopify costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 881 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
215 KiBAbout 215 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
27 KiBAbout 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
19 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 327 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 327 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (26), other files 829 KiB (126) and scripts 813 KiB (130). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (39 KiB) is 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.4 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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 145 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 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: 51 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (84 characters)
Your title is 84 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “NIQUEA.D | Exquisite Greeting Cards and Gifts for Every Occasion – NIQUEA.D Boutique”.
Meta description is long (288 characters)
Your meta description is 288 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
425 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 425 pages on niquead.com and 7 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.niquead.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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.niquead.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 (2,721 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.niquead.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.niquead.com/collections/all, https://www.niquead.com/collections/sympathy-cards-1, https://www.niquead.com/collections/anniversary-cards-2, https://www.niquead.com/collections/wedding-cards and https://www.niquead.com/collections/halloween-cards-2026 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

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

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.
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 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 1,201 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,201 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
5 checks passed

Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo 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.
15 cookies set on arrival
15Opening the homepage sets 15 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.
30 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 30 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 niquead.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 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Blockify Fraud Filter · Gift Reggie Gift Registry · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Powerful Form Builder · Inbox · Region Restrictions · Digital Appointments
