Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 580 KiBAbout 580 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.9 s · 596 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (596 KiB).
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 (route.com, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 610 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 219 KiBAbout 219 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 397 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
route.com adds 335 ms
335 msroute.com costs a phone 335 ms of main-thread work and 542 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
359 KiB17 images could be 359 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 837 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 98 ms
98 msShopify costs a phone 98 ms of main-thread work and 360 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.7 s
14.7 sYour largest element takes 14.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 15.0 s
15.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 245 ms
245 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 245 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 302 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 302 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (102), images 982 KiB (30) and other files 929 KiB (151). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Bimg.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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.01 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images 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
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
10 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail 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 checks passed
48 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: 48 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is long (77 characters)
Your title is 77 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Nova Natural Toys & Crafts- World of natural toys, crafts and unique gifts ff”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
162 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 162 pages on novanatural.com and 7 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Nova Natural Toys & Crafts”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://novanatural.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://novanatural.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
3 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 (768 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://novanatural.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
16 pages share a title
/, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-toys/wooden-toys, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-animals, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-vehicles, https://novanatural.com/collections/kitchen-and-house-play and https://novanatural.com/collections/developmental-toys/no-dolls and 10 others all use the title “Nova Natural Toys & Crafts- World of natural toys, crafts and unique …”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-toys/wooden-toys, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-animals, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-vehicles, https://novanatural.com/collections/kitchen-and-house-play, https://novanatural.com/collections/developmental-toys/no-dolls and https://novanatural.com/collections/blocks-and-stacking-toys and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://novanatural.com/collections/developmental-toys/no-dolls, whose canonical is https://novanatural.com/collections/developmental-toys. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 pages without an H1
https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-toys/wooden-toys, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-animals, https://novanatural.com/collections/wooden-vehicles, https://novanatural.com/collections/kitchen-and-house-play, https://novanatural.com/collections/developmental-toys/no-dolls and https://novanatural.com/collections/blocks-and-stacking-toys and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
26 of 28 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 453 words of copy
The homepage carries about 453 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW” and “SHOP THE COLLECTION”.
11 calls to action
The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Shop by age”, “Shop Now” and “Shop the collection”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 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.
19 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 novanatural.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 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
