Speed

12 to fix32
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,652 HTML elements

    The page has 3,652 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 769 KiB

    55 images could be 769 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 572 KiB

    About 572 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.

  • Shopify adds 475 ms

    475 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 475 ms of main-thread work and 502 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 405 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 371 ms

    371 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 371 ms of main-thread work and 276 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    266 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (266 KiB).

  • JSDelivr CDN adds 257 ms

    257 ms

    JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 42 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    149 KiB

    149 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    19 KiB

    19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    16 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix22
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.8 s

    11.8 s

    Your largest element takes 11.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.8 s

    22.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.273

    0.273

    The layout shifts by 0.273 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

    7 images 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
  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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 fix70
  • Page weight: 5.2 MB in 306 requests

    5.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 306 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (99), scripts 1.3 MB (86) and fonts 739 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (222 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (47 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.47 g of CO₂e: 176.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 100 links without text

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

  • 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.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is short (28 characters)

    Your title is only 28 characters: “BLCK. Shop The World. – Blck”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 253 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 253 pages on pier63.com and 9 external pages.

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: 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 (2,455 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://blck.com/collections/automotive-powersports, https://blck.com/collections/baby-toddler, https://blck.com/collections/bath, https://blck.com/collections/beauty-personal-care, https://blck.com/collections/computers-peripherals and https://blck.com/collections/electronics and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 34 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 34 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 pier63.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
