Render-blocking requests
5.2 s9 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 MBAbout 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 MB73 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 sGoogle 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
30/100Your 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 mssimon.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 KiB45 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 KiB65 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Facebook adds 367 ms
367 msFacebook 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 KiBAbout 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 msClarity 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 KiB83 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msWeb 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 18.8 MB in 249 requests
18.8 MBYour 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 gBy 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.

Accessibility
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.

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
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
robots.txt blocks 2 AI answer engine crawlers
2 of 6Your 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
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

Content and conversion
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

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