Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 136 KiBAbout 136 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 347 ms
347 msShopify costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 677 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.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 53 KiB53 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Cloudflare CDN and useamp.com and others), adding 778 KiB and 388 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 18 KiBAbout 18 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.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 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).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 61.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 182 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 182 requests on a phone: other files 725 KiB (90), scripts 459 KiB (50) and fonts 419 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “Out of Character Store”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
40 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 40 pages on outofcharacter.store and 0 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 92 characters
Your meta description is 92 characters: “Welcome to the official Out of Character store. This is the best way to support our podcast!”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Out of Character”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://outofcharacter.store/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://outofcharacter.store/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://outofcharacter.store/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.
1 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.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://outofcharacter.store/policies/shipping-policy has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages with very little text
https://outofcharacter.store/products/ooc-bubble-letter-hoodie-red, https://outofcharacter.store/products/captcha-boxy-hoodie-pink, https://outofcharacter.store/products/ooc-glitch-t-shirt-white, https://outofcharacter.store/products/face-baby-tee-yellow and https://outofcharacter.store/products/face-boxy-t-shirt-grey have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Content and conversion
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 18 words
The homepage has only about 18 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.
