Speed

9 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 310 KiB

    About 310 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • 5,448 HTML elements

    The page has 5,448 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Help Scout and others), adding 1.1 MB and 873 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 522 KiB

    12 images could be 522 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Shopify adds 690 ms

    690 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 690 ms of main-thread work and 603 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 319 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 39 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 52 KiB

    About 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    11 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix50
  • 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: 25.5 s

    25.5 s

    Your largest element takes 25.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.6 s

    26.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.20

    0.20

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 475 ms

    475 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 475 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 17% faster for real visitors

    -17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 6.7 MB in 279 requests

    6.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 279 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (60), scripts 994 KiB (95) and other files 895 KiB (110). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    RainCaper_Collection_Image_RC-M61_Front_600x800_f9d859aa-d2b 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 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.89 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.89 g of CO₂e: 226.2 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

8 to fixGoogle 8490
  • 25 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    21 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 13 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 41 links without text

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

  • 5 form fields without a label

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

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 437 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 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 7 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 10087

    The homepage links to 321 pages on raincaper.com and 9 external pages.

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

    7

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
