powerstep.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

12 images could be 296 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Yotpo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 283 ms of main-thread time.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 167 ms of main-thread work and 887 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.

The page has 1,582 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (71 KiB).

About 52 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

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

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 12.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Step into Cozy Limited-Time Savings. 20% off slippers. Use …”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.214 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 388 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (31), other files 1.0 MB (161) and scripts 924 KiB (166). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Quadrant-Fall25-portrait-Shop-Slippers.jpg 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

The homepage links to 166 pages on powerstep.com and 13 external pages.

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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 82 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 654 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Ketch) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
