Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
10.7 s · 2.1 MB1 image could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 174 KiBAbout 174 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 77 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (77 KiB).
1,832 HTML elements
The page has 1,832 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, automizely.com and shop.app), adding 324 KiB and 231 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 631 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

+23%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 167 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Owlkay-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter_540x.gif weighs 7.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (7.6 MB) is 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.
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 62 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 62 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (6), scripts 359 KiB (34) and fonts 195 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 100.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

Accessibility
41 text elements with low contrast
41 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
34 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
28 tap targets too small
28 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

https://www.owlkay.com/collections/easy-care, https://www.owlkay.com/collections/owlkay-wide-shoes and https://www.owlkay.com/collections/sneakers have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
