Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Shopify and others), adding 693 KiB and 564 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 311 KiBAbout 311 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 289 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google CDN adds 239 ms
239 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 298 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.
1,873 HTML elements
The page has 1,873 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
117 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (117 KiB).
Improve image delivery
98 KiB5 images could be 98 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.4 s
11.4 sYour largest element takes 11.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 17.0 s
17.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 631 ms
631 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 631 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 3.9 s
3.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
2 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 230 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 230 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (53), scripts 964 KiB (66) and other files 676 KiB (81). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 2.8 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
2.5 MB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 46_0521ccf5-bbe4-4fe1-b3f1-fef912d0b54f.svg at 1,600 px wide, shown at 267 px. Resized copies would save about 2.5 MB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.43 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.43 g of CO₂e: 171.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility

All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Every image has alt text
All 77 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Pristine Carbon — Carbon Fiber Phone Cases, Wallets & Everyday Gear”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (219 characters)
Your meta description is 219 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
89 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 89 pages on pristinecarbon.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://pristinecarbon.com/.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://pristinecarbon.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (791 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://pristinecarbon.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://pristinecarbon.com/collections/all, https://pristinecarbon.com/collections/apple-watch-cases and https://pristinecarbon.com/collections/plate-frame-covers have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
https://pristinecarbon.com/apps/tracking, https://pristinecarbon.com/pages/contact and https://pristinecarbon.com/pages/about-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 607 words of copy
The homepage carries about 607 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
