Speed

11 to fix41
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.4 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, ContentSquare and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.9 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 542 KiB

    About 542 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    900 ms · 287 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (287 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 932 ms

    932 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 932 ms of main-thread work and 545 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.

  • ContentSquare adds 504 ms

    504 ms

    ContentSquare costs a phone 504 ms of main-thread work and 189 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 331 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Klaviyo adds 290 ms

    290 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 290 ms of main-thread work and 409 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.

  • 1,770 HTML elements

    The page has 1,770 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    188 KiB

    1 image could be 188 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    37 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    34 KiB

    About 34 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 21.8 s

    21.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Your largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “HOLIDAY UNBOXED”.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 129 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 129 ms

    129 ms

    Real visitors wait 129 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 629 ms

    629 ms

    Real visitors wait 629 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.052

    0.052

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.052, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix53
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Spotlight_02_M_ee92f759-bc88-498f-bcac-6a7638018767.gif weighs 1.4 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 289 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 289 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (104), other files 916 KiB (112) and images 642 KiB (58). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (1.4 MB) 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Quay_HighKeyExtraLarge_GarnetDarkFawn_Front.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).

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8790
  • 12 tap targets too small

    12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • 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.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (6 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 177 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 177 pages on quay.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Shop Women's and Men's Sunglasses”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Stylish Sunglasses & Trendy Eyewear | Quay Australia – QUAY”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.quay.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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.quay.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (632 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 70 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 4 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flag-icon-css/4.1.4/flags/4x3/us.svg.

  • 33 small tap targets

    33 of 111 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (quay.com).

  • Valid certificate (50 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for quay.com and is valid for another 50 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://quay.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    quay.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 31 years old

    31 years

    quay.com was registered in Feb 1995 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for quay.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    quay.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • About 613 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 613 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP BY” and “SHOP ONLINE COLLECTION | 30% OFF”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “SHOP BY”, “SHOP ONLINE COLLECTION | 30% OFF” and “Virtual Try-On”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mailgun.org include:spf.tipalti.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 4 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.

  • 44 cookies set on arrival

    44

    Opening the homepage sets 44 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 58 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 58 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.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.

Apps your storefront loads

Mntn · Checkmate · Okendo · Applovin Shop Integration · Open Roas · usedrop.io · sesami.co · bazaarvoice.com · kxcdn.com · useamp.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
