Speed

7 to fix76
  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 501 KiB

    11 images could be 501 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 76

    76/100

    Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and 506.io and others), adding 1.7 MB and 395 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 168 ms

    168 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 168 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: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 798 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,613 HTML elements

    The page has 1,613 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 55 KiB

    About 55 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    169 KiB

    About 169 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 83 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    20 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix71
  • Time to Interactive: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 18 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.069

    0.069

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.069, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 29 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 364 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 364 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (28), scripts 1.2 MB (184) and other files 889 KiB (131). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (540 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    137 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example instagram-image_f3dc1916-448c-4d4c-a018-d406f03a6422.jpg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 304 px. Resized copies would save about 137 KiB.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (409 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

    1.28 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 154.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 8695
  • Hidden but focusable

    9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 9 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 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 8590
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Born in Japan.” and “Developed for the world.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 66 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on notace.com.au and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 74 characters

    Your meta description is 74 characters: “Barefoot performance footwear. Inspired by Japan’s fine crafting heritage.”.

  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Notace - Escape the Noise – Notace AU”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://notace.com.au/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://notace.com.au/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    60%

    The HTML your server sends has 538 of the 904 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://notace.com.au/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://notace.com.au/blogs/footnotes, https://notace.com.au/collections/all, https://notace.com.au/collections/mens-trail, https://notace.com.au/collections/womens-trail, https://notace.com.au/collections/michi-1 and https://notace.com.au/collections/yama-1 and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://notace.com.au/pages/30-day-money-back-guarantee, https://notace.com.au/collections/shop-mens, https://notace.com.au/collections/shop-womens, https://notace.com.au/blogs/footnotes, https://notace.com.au/collections/the-rehab-mechanics and https://notace.com.au/collections/all and 8 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 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    33 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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.

  • About 904 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 904 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP MENS” and “SHOP WOMENS”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before 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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 1 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.

  • 28 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 28 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 notace.com.au, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
