Speed

8 to fix56
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 397 KiB

    About 397 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • 7,048 HTML elements

    The page has 7,048 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 6.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.4 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 (Clarity, userway.org and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 2.7 MB and 781 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Clarity adds 333 ms

    333 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.

  • userway.org adds 141 ms

    141 ms

    userway.org costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 MB 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.

  • Shopify adds 122 ms

    122 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 493 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 84 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (84 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    130 ms · 18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 144 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    100 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    26 KiB

    3 images could be 26 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 90 but mobile only 56. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    Your largest element takes 14.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Fall your way UP TO 80% OFF Styles worth falling for, for w…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.2 s

    28.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 164 ms to 204 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors

    +20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 134 ms

    134 ms

    Real visitors wait 134 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 380 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 380 requests on a phone: other files 3.0 MB (255), scripts 1.0 MB (79) and images 842 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (201 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 170.4 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

12 to fixGoogle 9086
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    9 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 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.

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (3 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 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

2 to fixGoogle 10086
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.rainbowshops.com/cdn/shop/t/415/assets/icon-logo.…”.

  • 1,717 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 1,717 pages on rainbowshops.com and 7 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “Shop Rainbow for affordable plus size and women’s clothing in sizes XS to 4X. New arrivals daily. Free shipping on $75 …”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Rainbow Shops | Affordable Plus Size & Women’s Fashion”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.rainbowshops.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: 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 (4,911 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.rainbowshops.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 5 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/find-my-order, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/plus-size, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/shoes, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/kids, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/accessories and https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/home and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/buy-online-ship-to-store, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/shipping-information, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/find-my-order, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/plus-size, https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/shoes and https://www.rainbowshops.com/pages/kids and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.rainbowshops.com/collections/2-or-more-5-dollar-tops took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 24 small tap targets

    24 of 40 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

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • No social proof

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

  • 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 452 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 452 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Order Tracking”, “Shop by Size” and “Shop by Heel”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 rainbowshops.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
