Speed

10 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    7.7 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.0 s · 1.6 MB

    11 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google CDN and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 4.6 MB and 711 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 224 KiB

    About 224 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Squarespace adds 434 ms

    434 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 434 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    450 ms · 63 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 63 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 233 ms

    233 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 743 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.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 823 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 46 ms

    46 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 46 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix66
  • First Contentful Paint: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 11.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.6 s

    21.6 s

    Your largest element takes 21.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.9 s

    21.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 97 ms

    97 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 97 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB in 81 requests

    5.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 81 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (14), scripts 2.0 MB (40) and other files 490 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (753 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.46 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.46 g of CO₂e: 175.0 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

3 to fixGoogle 9697
  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10079
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “North Hollow Threads”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 4 problems

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 4 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d6197b0e9ed3a96b…”.

  • 40 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 40 pages on northhollowthreads.com and 8 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 146 characters

    Your meta description is 146 characters: “Handmade goods for the modern home. Textile pieces sewn in Hershey, PA includes table linens, baby quilts, travel bags,…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.northhollowthreads.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (288 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 11 pages without a meta description

    https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/zipper-bags, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/home-and-entertaining, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/babies-and-kids, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/holiday-shop, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/sale and https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/zipper-bags/travel-collection and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 8 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 8 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/zipper-bags, whose canonical is https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/zipper-bags, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/home-and-entertaining, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/babies-and-kids, https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/holiday-shop and https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop/sale and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.northhollowthreads.com/shop has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 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 “Framing 'https://www.google.com/' violates the following report-only Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestor…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix67
  • 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 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. 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.

  • Only about 220 words

    The homepage has only about 220 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “shop all”, “Sign Up” and “contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 6 email links.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 northhollowthreads.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
