Speed
Improve image delivery
3.9 s · 2.9 MB37 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
21,776 HTML elements
The page has 21,776 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Render-blocking requests
1.7 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 210 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 0 ms
0 msShopify costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 320 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 · 33 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).
Minify CSS
150 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 94 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 720 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 36.2 MB in 251 requests
36.2 MBYour homepage downloads 36.2 MB in 251 requests on a phone: images 35.0 MB (200), fonts 431 KiB (11) and scripts 391 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Memory-Flannel-Product-GIF.gif weighs 2.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
511 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Graffiti.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 212 px. Resized copies would save about 511 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (2.2 MB) is 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.
About 10.3 g of CO₂ per visit
10.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 10.25 g of CO₂e: 1230.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
45 images without alt text
45 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Structured data has 8 problems
Structured data found ((untyped), BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 8 problems, for example “untyped block: missing @context (expected "https://schema.org")”.
1 link with vague text

Title: 52 characters
Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Retro Rifle | Limited Drop Button Downs and Flannels”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://retro-rifle.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://retro-rifle.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,926 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://retro-rifle.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://retro-rifle.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://retro-rifle.com/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://retro-rifle.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://retro-rifle.com/pages/rewards have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://retro-rifle.com/collections/hybrid-shorts and https://retro-rifle.com/collections/bold-mens-apparel use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://retro-rifle.com/pages/sizing-1, whose canonical is https://retro-rifle.com/pages/sizing. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
3 pages without an H1
https://retro-rifle.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://retro-rifle.com/pages/rewards and https://retro-rifle.com/pages/sizing-1 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.xotiny.com/assets/shop/the-can-co/gallery/main.min.css?v=1790799510994' from o…”.
6 distorted images
6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
130 of 131 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. 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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,083 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,083 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
2 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Newest Releases Shop Now”, “Reversible Bombers Shop Now” and “SHOP NOW”.
86 short forms
86 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 retro-rifle.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
