Speed

15 to fix30
  • Render-blocking requests

    5.2 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.2 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.8 s · 1.6 MB

    73 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.0 s of main-thread work and 1.6 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 60). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 15.6 MB and 3.2 s of main-thread time.

  • simon.com adds 59 ms

    59 ms

    simon.com costs a phone 59 ms of main-thread work and 13.4 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

    200 ms · 672 KiB

    45 images could be 672 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 867 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    450 ms · 65 KiB

    65 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Facebook adds 367 ms

    367 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 367 ms of main-thread work and 278 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 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.

  • Clarity adds 292 ms

    292 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 28 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.

  • 2,126 HTML elements

    The page has 2,126 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    250 ms · 83 KiB

    83 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 109 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 109 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 60 but mobile only 30. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.1 s

    21.1 s

    Your largest element takes 21.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “it's a simon thing - po.com hero launch”.

  • Time to Interactive: 33.6 s

    33.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 33.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.0 s

  • Real-user INP: 221 ms

    221 ms

    Real visitors wait 221 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 27% slower for real visitors

    +27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 196 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 87 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.07

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.007

    0.007

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.007, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 18.8 MB in 249 requests

    18.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 18.8 MB in 249 requests on a phone: media 13.9 MB (2), scripts 3.0 MB (59) and images 1.3 MB (103). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (252 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 5.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.31 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.31 g of CO₂e: 637.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 7784
  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • <dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements (6 elements)

    <dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (14 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (11 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 12 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9280
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.simon.com)”.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 17 internal links, 191 external

    The homepage links to 17 pages on premiumoutlets.com and 191 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 131 characters

    Your meta description is 131 characters: “Find a Simon Premium Outlet near you. Shop more for less at outlet fashion brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Adidas, Michael …”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Simon Premium Outlets: Designer Fashion & Luxury Outlet Malls”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://www.premiumoutlets.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix65
  • robots.txt blocks 2 AI answer engine crawlers

    2 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

3 checks passed
  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (833 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (27 KiB, 80 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 6 pages without an H1

    /spanish, /portuguese, /french, /chinese, /korean and /japanese have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 6 pages with very little text

    /spanish, /portuguese, /french, /chinese, /korean and /japanese 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.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 11 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 5474
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://b.videoamp.com/d2/3f9c351f-8ba4-4f13-964f-e2ba0b1dca82/8695/impression?bwb=35&vpxid=8695&dnt=false&cevt=SITE_VISIT.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    102 of 107 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 888 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 888 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 20 calls to action

    The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “SHOP ONLINE”, “CONTACT US” and “Brands You Love. 24/7. Shop Online >”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 50 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 50 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 premiumoutlets.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
