Speed

7 to fix62
  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 1.4 MB

    21 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    326 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (326 KiB).

  • 2,578 HTML elements

    The page has 2,578 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Klaviyo adds 173 ms

    173 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 173 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.

  • Shopify adds 94 ms

    94 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 385 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1,004 KiB and 326 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 80 KiB

    About 80 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    50 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 50 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    7 KiB

    7 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 12.3 MB in 327 requests

    12.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.3 MB in 327 requests on a phone: media 5.3 MB (1), images 4.8 MB (66) and scripts 879 KiB (132). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    165 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Blue-Hydrangea-Stitcher-Every-Hour-is-Golden-Hour-Needlepoin at 600 px wide, shown at 163 px. Resized copies would save about 165 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (45 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.49 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.49 g of CO₂e: 418.9 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

8 to fixGoogle 8589
  • 10 buttons without a name

    10 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (6 elements)

    <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 11 images without alt text

    11 images have 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.

  • 9 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 48 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: 48 passed and 6 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8581
  • Title is short (10 characters)

    Your title is only 10 characters: “Penny Linn”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Penny Linn” and “Penny Linn”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 237 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 237 pages on pennylinn.com and 15 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://pennylinn.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (870 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://pennylinn.com/collections/new-all, https://pennylinn.com/pages/for-beginners, https://pennylinn.com/pages/about, https://pennylinn.com/pages/partnerships, https://pennylinn.com/collections/recently-restocked and https://pennylinn.com/collections/best-sellers and 6 others 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 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 570 words of copy

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

  • 26 short forms

    26 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag (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.

  • 21 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 21 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 pennylinn.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
