Speed

8 to fix83
  • Mobile performance score: 83

    83/100

    Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Freshchat, omnisnippet1.com and fw-cdn.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 819 ms of main-thread time.

  • Freshchat adds 543 ms

    543 ms

    Freshchat costs a phone 543 ms of main-thread work and 806 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    415 KiB

    About 415 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    333 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,795 HTML elements

    The page has 2,795 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 62 KiB

    About 62 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    182 KiB

    8 images could be 182 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 131 ms to 169 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Total Blocking Time: 373 ms

    373 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 373 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 11 images without width and height

    11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 129 ms

    129 ms

    Real visitors wait 129 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 322 ms

    322 ms

    Real visitors wait 322 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 101 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 101 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (25), images 724 KiB (38) and stylesheets 130 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (761 KiB) 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.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images 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

4 to fixGoogle 8994
  • 53 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 10 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 407 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • 190 internal links, 26 external

    The homepage links to 190 pages on retrofam.com and 26 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “RetroFam @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) { :root { --product-media-height: clamp(350px, 56vw, 620px); } .prod…”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “RetroFam | Buy Retro Gaming Consoles, Games & Accessories Online”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,169 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7397
  • 1 third-party cookie

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 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 1,291 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,291 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Track Your Order” and “Return Your Order”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 4 mores (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.

  • 28 cookies set on arrival

    28

    Opening the homepage sets 28 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 31 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 31 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 retrofam.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads
