Speed
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Improve image delivery
50 KiB2 images could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 63 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 146 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 4.8 s

Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is element render delay (2.0 s).
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.28 g of CO₂e: 33.5 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: 1,008 KiB in 108 requests
1,008 KiBYour homepage downloads 1,008 KiB in 108 requests on a phone: other files 713 KiB (72), scripts 132 KiB (26) and images 88 KiB (2). 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
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “RareStorage”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is short (68 characters)
Your meta description is only 68 characters: “White-glove storage services for your fine wine & spirits collection”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
17 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 17 pages on rarestorage.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Wine collecting, simplified”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://rarestorage.com/.
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://rarestorage.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://rarestorage.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,015 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://rarestorage.com/pages/storage, https://rarestorage.com/pages/privacy-policy and https://rarestorage.com/pages/terms-of-use have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
8 internal pages checked
We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search

5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 851 words of copy
The homepage carries about 851 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Privacy and tracking
6 cookies set on arrival

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.

1 checks passed

Security, domain, email and software versions

Apps on your store
No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
