Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 286 KiBAbout 286 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 378 KiB12 images could be 378 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
380 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 380 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 261 ms
261 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 479 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.
1,516 HTML elements
The page has 1,516 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 579 KiB and 263 ms of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 608 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.4 s
9.4 sYour largest element takes 9.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 9.5 s
9.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.3 s
6.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
36 images without width and height
36 images 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.
3 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 185 ms
185 msScripts block the page for only 185 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 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: 2.5 MB in 152 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 152 requests on a phone: images 884 KiB (46), other files 710 KiB (75) and scripts 680 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (36 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.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.70 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 83.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (56 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
10 links without text
10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
24 links with vague text
24 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
206 internal links, 0 external

AI search readiness

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 (7,718 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://productsourceguys.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
https://productsourceguys.com/collections/music, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/stringed-instruments-all, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/guitars, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/stringed-instruments-violins-banjos-ukuleles, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/guitar-stringed-instrument-accessories and https://productsourceguys.com/collections/instrument-cases and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
