Render-blocking requests
1.6 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, amaicdn.com and Clarity and others), adding 1.7 MB and 813 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
789 KiBAbout 789 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 318 KiB10 images could be 318 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
487 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (487 KiB).
Google CDN adds 287 ms
287 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
amaicdn.com adds 177 ms
177 msamaicdn.com costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 404 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 154 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
86 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 86 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
62 KiBAbout 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Total Blocking Time: 169 ms
169 msScripts block the page for only 169 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.7 MB in 256 requests
4.7 MBYour homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 256 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (98), images 1.5 MB (28) and other files 1.1 MB (94). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
fresh_colors_winter_jean-2_375x.webp 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (192 KiB) 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.34 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.34 g of CO₂e: 160.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 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 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (181 characters)
Your meta description is 181 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
40 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 40 pages on riptonco.com and 6 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Ripton - Performance Denim - Jorts, Overalls and More”.
Canonical URL set

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://riptonco.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
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.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/blogs/rippedin-journal and /collections/last-chance have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
/collections/jants, /collections/shop and /collections/last-chance have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (riptonco.com).
Valid certificate (50 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for riptonco.com and is valid for another 50 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://riptonco.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 32 links work
All 32 links checked from your homepage (28 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
riptonco.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
riptonco.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 7 years old
7 yearsriptonco.com was registered in Aug 2019 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Aug 2027
riptonco.com is registered until Aug 2027.
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.
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 65 words
The homepage has only about 65 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “SHOP ALL” and “Contact”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
riptonco.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 40/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
1 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 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.
46 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 46 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 15 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
