Speed

5 to fix61
  • Improve image delivery

    700 ms · 581 KiB

    18 images could be 581 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

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

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 127 KiB

    About 127 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 93 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (93 KiB).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    28 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (wholesalegorilla.app, Shopify and textify-cdn.com and others), adding 348 KiB and 120 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    57 KiB

    About 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 53 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 365 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.7 s

    10.7 s

    Your largest element takes 10.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Stickers”.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.0 s

    11.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.11

    0.11

    The layout shifts by 0.11 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 63 ms to 72 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 211 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 211 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (23), other files 823 KiB (113) and scripts 359 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    IMG_4799.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).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (210 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 0.8 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: 92.7 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

5 to fixGoogle 9195
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 7 form fields without a label

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10090
  • Meta description is long (185 characters)

    Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 128 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 128 pages on rainbowcertified.com and 11 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Rainbow Certified | LGBTQ+ Clothing & Accessories | PRIDE”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://rainbowcertified.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://rainbowcertified.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (559 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://rainbowcertified.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://rainbowcertified.com/collections/all, https://rainbowcertified.com/collections/tote-bags, https://rainbowcertified.com/collections/belt-bag, https://rainbowcertified.com/collections/keychains, https://rainbowcertified.com/collections/kids-unisex-t-shirts and https://rainbowcertified.com/collections/dog-bundles and 2 others have 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 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 22 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 255 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 255 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “SHOP STICKER BOOKS”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop By Identity” and “Shop Now”.

  • 4 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Pinterest Tag (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 rainbowcertified.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.
