Speed

10 to fix84
  • Mobile performance score: 84

    84/100

    Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 634 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (634 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, sleeknote.com and Cookie-Script.com and others), adding 1.9 MB and 570 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 377 KiB

    About 377 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,533 HTML elements

    The page has 2,533 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 178 ms

    178 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 178 ms of main-thread work and 686 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.

  • Cookie-Script.com adds 96 ms

    96 ms

    Cookie-Script.com costs a phone 96 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.

  • Shopify adds 39 ms

    39 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 39 ms of main-thread work and 470 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 220 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    52 KiB

    About 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 219 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 219 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (64), other files 1.0 MB (125) and images 629 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    346 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rains_hilo_weekend_bag_black_everyday_pack_1_37f87523-270b-4 at 3,600 px wide, shown at 136 px. Resized copies would save about 346 KiB.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.3 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 load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9693
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Links look like plain text

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

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail 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).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 195 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 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: 53 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8583
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 8 H1 headlines

    There are 8 <h1> headlines (“Winter: Volume I”, “Rainwear” and “Backpacks”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 462 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 462 pages on rains.com and 19 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Rains® | Explore Waterproof Jackets, Bags & Outerwear”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://rains.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://rains.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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (976 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://rains.com/collections/new-arrivals and https://rains.com/collections/new-arrivals/kvinde all use the title “New Arrivals from Rains® | See collection | Buy with 2-year warranty”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://rains.com/pages/company, https://rains.com/pages/contact, https://rains.com/pages/stores and https://rains.com/pages/terms have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://rains.com/collections/new-arrivals and https://rains.com/collections/new-arrivals/kvinde use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://rains.com/collections/womens-outerwear/female, whose canonical is https://rains.com/collections/womens-outerwear. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 144 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 25 small tap targets

    25 of 66 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'email') https://rains.com/web-pixels/strict/app/web-pixel-2730131696@8203fc1dc…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix75
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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 354 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 354 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Women's Winter Jackets” and “Shop Men's Winter Jackets”.

  • 33 calls to action

    The homepage has 33 calls to action, for example “Shop all women's”, “Shop all men's” and “Shop all bags”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 3 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • 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
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 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 rains.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
