One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.9 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 513 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (513 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
1.4 s · 248 KiBAbout 248 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (miniextensions.com, Stripe and Facebook and others), adding 18.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 17 ms
17 msShopify costs a phone 17 ms of main-thread work and 14.8 MB 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.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 663 KiB10 images could be 663 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
miniextensions.com adds 658 ms
658 msminiextensions.com costs a phone 658 ms of main-thread work and 2.9 MB 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 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 531 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 820 ms
820 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 820 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.8 MB in 172 requests
20.8 MBYour homepage downloads 20.8 MB in 172 requests on a phone: media 14.8 MB (3), scripts 2.4 MB (43) and other files 2.0 MB (90). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 5.9 g of CO₂ per visit
5.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.90 g of CO₂e: 707.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (10 characters)
Your title is only 10 characters: “PinMachine”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
75 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 75 pages on pinmachine.com and 0 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “High Quality Custom Pins”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://pinmachine.com/.
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://pinmachine.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (295 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://pinmachine.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://pinmachine.com/collections/lapel-pins and https://pinmachine.com/collections/lapel-pins-1 all use the title “Lapel Pins – PinMachine”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
9 pages without a meta description
https://pinmachine.com/quote, https://pinmachine.com/collections/lapel-pins, https://pinmachine.com/collections/coins, https://pinmachine.com/collections/key-tags, https://pinmachine.com/collections/made-in-america and https://pinmachine.com/collections/miscellaneous and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://pinmachine.com/quote, whose canonical is https://pinmachine.com/pages/quote-builder. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
9 pages with very little text
https://pinmachine.com/quote, https://pinmachine.com/collections/lapel-pins, https://pinmachine.com/collections/coins, https://pinmachine.com/collections/key-tags, https://pinmachine.com/collections/made-in-america and https://pinmachine.com/collections/miscellaneous and 3 others 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
No analytics detected

No direct contact details

Security, domain, email and software versions
