Speed

9 to fix64
  • Main-thread work: 5.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, Shopify and shop.app and others), adding 4.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • hcaptcha.com adds 922 ms

    922 ms

    hcaptcha.com costs a phone 922 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 511 ms

    511 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 511 ms of main-thread work and 3.0 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 498 KiB

    14 images could be 498 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    446 KiB

    About 446 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 1,808 HTML elements

    The page has 1,808 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 246 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    151 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (151 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    59 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix66
  • Time to Interactive: 32.9 s

    32.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Your largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Original remi bundle hair”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 363 ms

    363 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 363 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 7.8 MB in 544 requests

    7.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 544 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (48), scripts 2.1 MB (254) and other files 1.5 MB (177). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    BlackDiamond_TapeIn_mockup.png 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).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    159 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example orbundle-wide.jpg at 2,000 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 159 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.21 g of CO₂e: 265.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9496
  • 72 text elements with low contrast

    72 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 41 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 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (13 characters)

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

  • 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.

  • 200 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 200 pages on originalremi.com and 11 external pages.

6 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 (780 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://www.originalremi.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.originalremi.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.originalremi.com/collections/all, https://www.originalremi.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.originalremi.com/collections/new-bestsellers, https://www.originalremi.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.originalremi.com/pages/originalremi-store-locator and https://www.originalremi.com/pages/apply-for-b2b-account and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.originalremi.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
