Render-blocking requests
1.4 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
4,752 HTML elements
The page has 4,752 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
1.2 MB12 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and web.app and others), adding 1.4 MB and 690 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
570 KiBAbout 570 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
366 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (366 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 312 ms
312 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 374 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.
Klaviyo adds 135 ms
135 msKlaviyo costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 358 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.
web.app adds 110 ms
110 msweb.app costs a phone 110 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 162 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
45 KiB45 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

2 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.2 MB in 449 requests
15.2 MBYour homepage downloads 15.2 MB in 449 requests on a phone: media 9.1 MB (2), images 2.5 MB (44) and scripts 1.9 MB (93). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images in older formats
10 images (461 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 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.31 g of CO₂e: 517.6 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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“O'Neill” and “Follow us @oneilleurope”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
280 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 280 pages on oneill.com and 22 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 94 characters
Your meta description is 94 characters: “O’Neill, First Name In The Water. ✓ Best prices ✓ Quick delivery ✓ Free returns within 30 days”.
Title: 54 characters
Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “O'Neill - The Original California Surf Brand – O'Neill”.
Canonical URL set

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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://eu.oneill.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 (812 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://eu.oneill.com/collections/snow-collection-2026 has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
