Speed

6 to fix87
  • Mobile performance score: 87

    87/100

    Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,459 HTML elements

    The page has 2,459 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 64 ms

    64 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 64 ms of main-thread work and 591 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.

  • azurefd.net adds 77 ms

    77 ms

    azurefd.net costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, azurefd.net and Shopify and others), adding 950 KiB and 322 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    185 KiB

    About 185 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    118 KiB

    6 images could be 118 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    26 KiB

    About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    18 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18 KiB).

  • 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: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Woman wearing a floral two-piece dress with white sneakers …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 3.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

9 checks passed

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 701 ms

    701 ms

    Real visitors wait 701 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 30 ms

    30 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 30 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 324 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 324 requests on a phone: other files 949 KiB (113), scripts 765 KiB (120) and images 715 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (158 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.8 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

4 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 20 text elements with low contrast

    20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 59 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 59 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 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: 50 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 289 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 289 pages on rackhunt.com and 10 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Shop boutique clothing, shoes and accessories from 3,400+ independent brands and boutiques across the U.S. New styles d…”.

  • One H1 headline

  • Title: 50 characters

  • Canonical URL set

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.rackhunt.com/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: 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 (1,337 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.rackhunt.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 118 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7797

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • 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 808 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 808 words of visible text.

7 checks passed

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start the Hunt →”.

  • 6 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
