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
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 370 KiBAbout 370 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 504 KiB13 images could be 504 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and pandect.es and others), adding 2.0 MB and 896 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Shopify adds 414 ms
414 msShopify costs a phone 414 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 43 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 441 ms
441 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 441 ms of main-thread work and 524 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.
2,422 HTML elements
The page has 2,422 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 208 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 33 KiBAbout 33 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.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 90 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 90 requests on a phone: scripts 975 KiB (36), images 889 KiB (32) and fonts 150 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (60 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.7 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 are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
217 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 217 pages on nomadgoods.com and 9 external pages.

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://nomadgoods.com/llms.txt (103 KiB, 457 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://nomadgoods.com/pages/iphone-18-cases and https://nomadgoods.com/collections/iphone-18-cases all use the title “iPhone 18 Cases | NOMAD”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.

14 cookies set on arrival
