Speed

11 to fix37
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.9 s · 1.3 MB

    About 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 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (513 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.4 s · 248 KiB

    About 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

    37/100

    Your 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    10 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 ms

    miniextensions.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 ms

    2 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix45
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.5 s

    21.5 s

    Your largest element takes 21.5 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: 23.9 s

    23.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 820 ms

    820 ms

    Scripts 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 20.8 MB in 172 requests

    20.8 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

2 to fixGoogle 9897
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8573
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

3 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

    26 of 28 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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 288 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 288 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “High Quality Custom Pins SHOP ALL”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Get A Quote”, “Soft Enamel Get Quote” and “Hard Enamel Get Quote”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 pinmachine.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
