Speed

10 to fix41
  • Improve image delivery

    1.6 s · 17.2 MB

    113 images could be 17.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 47). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 6,822 HTML elements

    The page has 6,822 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 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 (Shopify, elfsight.com and Privy and others), adding 3.4 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 1,001 KiB

    42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1,001 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 571 KiB

    About 571 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.

  • Shopify adds 444 ms

    444 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 444 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.

  • elfsight.com adds 288 ms

    288 ms

    elfsight.com costs a phone 288 ms of main-thread work and 411 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.

  • Privy adds 117 ms

    117 ms

    Privy costs a phone 117 ms of main-thread work and 408 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 151 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    63 KiB

    About 63 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    19 KiB

    19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 18 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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: 19.1 s

    19.1 s

    Your largest element takes 19.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “mobile (15).gif__PID:f5c49850-0586-4388-bf3b-91fc392527cb”.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.6 s

    30.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.296

    0.296

    The layout shifts by 0.296 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user INP: 212 ms

    212 ms

    Real visitors wait 212 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 208 ms

    208 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 208 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 145 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 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 CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 451 ms

    451 ms

    Real visitors wait 451 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

5 to fix14
  • Page weight: 21.4 MB in 386 requests

    21.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 21.4 MB in 386 requests on a phone: images 18.1 MB (124), scripts 2.1 MB (115) and other files 800 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 36 images far larger than shown

    9.1 MB

    36 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example IMG_0023_clipped_rev_1_f93d5772-d345-41b8-b874-d903e2b6ee23. at 2,123 px wide, shown at 129 px. Resized copies would save about 9.1 MB.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.8 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (2.3 MB) are 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    mobile_2_2a408e73-8755-4f32-9a24-031be23bebae.gif 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 6.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.08 g of CO₂e: 729.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9494
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (93 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 93 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 32 text elements with low contrast

    32 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 (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Positive tabindex

    3 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 313 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 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: 49 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Meta description is long (306 characters)

    Your meta description is 306 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 18 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 18 pages on refash.sg and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Singapore's Largest Secondhand Fashion Destination | REFASH”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://refash.sg/.

  • 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://refash.sg/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    40%

    The HTML your server sends has 853 of the 2,128 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

3 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

5 to fix67
  • 1 page without a title

    https://refash.sg/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://refash.sg/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://refash.sg/collections/all and https://refash.sg/customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://refash.sg/collections/dresses and https://refash.sg/collections/tops use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    https://refash.sg/collections/all, https://refash.sg/customer_authentication/redirect, https://refash.sg/collections/largest-online-thrift-store, https://refash.sg/collections/dresses, https://refash.sg/collections/tops and https://refash.sg/collections/designer and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://refash.sg/collections/largest-online-thrift-store and https://refash.sg/collections/dresses have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://refash.sg/customer_authentication/redirect took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 7 internal pages checked

    We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 7 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn-gp01.grabpay.com/shopify/ui-js/v1/grab_widget.css' from origin 'https://refash…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    118 of 118 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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.

  • 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 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 2,128 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,128 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “SHOP ALL STYLES”.

  • 67 short forms

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

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 Meta Pixel (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.

  • 42 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 42 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 refash.sg, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
