Speed

6 to fix93
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (cartsguru.io, Shopify and Adroll and others), adding 854 KiB and 792 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 563 KiB

    12 images could be 563 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 300 KiB

    About 300 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,538 HTML elements

    The page has 1,538 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    180 KiB

    29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (180 KiB).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    61 KiB

    About 61 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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
  • Mobile performance score: 93

    93/100

    Your mobile performance score is 93. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix92
  • Time to Interactive: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 118 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Your largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 17% slower for real visitors

    +17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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
  • Total Blocking Time: 117 ms

    117 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 117 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 331 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 331 requests on a phone: images 1.0 MB (35), other files 1.0 MB (178) and scripts 951 KiB (90). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (71 KiB) 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.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.2 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

2 to fixGoogle 9598
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 58 links without text

    58 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 49 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 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 10086
  • Meta description is long (262 characters)

    Your meta description is 262 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://paintplot.com.au)”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 134 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 134 pages on paintplot.com.au and 4 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Paint Plot: Paint By Numbers For Adults”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://paintplot.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.

3 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 (576 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://paintplot.com/collections/all-paintings, https://paintplot.com/collections/bundles-mystery, https://paintplot.com/collections/new-arrivals, https://paintplot.com/collections/childrens-paint-by-number-kits, https://paintplot.com/collections/best-sellers and https://paintplot.com/collections/famous-artist-paintings and 1 other have 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 82 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 358 words of copy

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 11 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and “OVER 50,000 HAPPY CUSTOMERS”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 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.

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 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 paintplot.com.au, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
