Speed

3 to fix78
  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    550 ms · 99 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (99 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 35 KiB

    2 images could be 35 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Mailchimp and intuit.com and others), adding 83 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 229 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix74
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Your largest element takes 5.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    flemobanner_2x-100.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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 47.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.4 MB in 189 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 189 requests on a phone: other files 759 KiB (95), scripts 270 KiB (54) and images 218 KiB (8). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9792
  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • Headings should not be empty (2 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 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

4 to fixGoogle 10079
  • Title is short (13 characters)

    Your title is only 13 characters: “Ordinary Labs”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (184 characters)

    Your meta description is 184 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 3 problems

    Structured data found (Organization, Product and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 24 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on ordinarylabs.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ordinarylabs.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://ordinarylabs.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (267 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://ordinarylabs.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://ordinarylabs.com/collections/keyboards, https://ordinarylabs.com/collections/accessories and https://ordinarylabs.com/collections/accessories-1 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 internal pages checked

    We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 7 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

6 to fix36
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • Only about 191 words

    The homepage has only about 191 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok 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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 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 ordinarylabs.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
