• Page weight: 4.6 MB

  4.6 MB

  Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB on a phone, 993 KiB of it images (21%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

  PLUG_SALE_BANNER_3.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  Elements (3)

• 1 image far larger than shown

  428 KiB

  1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ZelgcfjZ3-G_pJ6retzyZ.png at 1,024 px wide, shown at 60 px. Resized copies would save about 428 KiB.

  Elements (1)

• 1 image in older formats

  1 image (442 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.

  Elements (1)

• About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

  1.30 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.30 g of CO₂e: 155.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• Images must have alternative text (3 elements)

  Elements (3)

• Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

  Elements (2)

  All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

• 1 form field without a label

  View source

• Headings skip levels

  Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  View source

• 2 H1 headlines

  There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Black Friday Came Early”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  View source

• 778 internal links, 6 external

  The homepage links to 778 pages on plug.tech and 6 external pages.

• No llms.txt

  There is no https://www.plug.tech/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.

• 2 pages without a meta description

  https://www.plug.tech/collections/all and https://www.plug.tech/products/iphone-14-purple-128gb-unlocked have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  Elements (2)

• 12 pages without an H1

  https://www.plug.tech/collections/all, https://www.plug.tech/collections/black-friday-deals, https://www.plug.tech/products/iphone-14-purple-128gb-unlocked, https://www.plug.tech/products/iphone-15-black-128gb-unlocked, https://www.plug.tech/products/samsung-galaxy-s24-ultra-5g-256gb-titanium-black-unlocked and https://www.plug.tech/products/ipad-2021-9th-gen-10-2-64gb-space-gray-wifi-only and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
