Speed

5 to fix81
  • 5,734 HTML elements

    The page has 5,734 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 81

    81/100

    Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 251 KiB

    15 images could be 251 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 21 KiB

    About 21 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 51 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 52 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Lucky Orange, JSDelivr CDN and parcelwill.com and others), adding 379 KiB and 9 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 145 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 77 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.44 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 100 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 100 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (75), scripts 222 KiB (14) and HTML 112 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8490
  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 5 images without alt text

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 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. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

  • 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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

    20 of 97 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Shopify is not defined”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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 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 783 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 783 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Track your order”, “Contact us” and “Shop All”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: TikTok Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 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 rafelloandco.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 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
