Speed

10 to fix68
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 280 KiB

    About 280 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • 4,826 HTML elements

    The page has 4,826 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 794 KiB

    26 images could be 794 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 167 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (167 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 70 KiB

    About 70 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 35 ms

    35 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 35 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Mailchimp, Google CDN and Key CDN and others), adding 749 KiB and 397 ms of main-thread time.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    13 KiB

    13 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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: 75 ms

    75 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 75 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 100 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 181 ms

    181 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 181 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.062

    0.062

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.9 MB in 223 requests

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 223 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (36), other files 934 KiB (99) and scripts 769 KiB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (33 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.10 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 132.6 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

10 to fixGoogle 7487
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    6 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 26 tap targets too small

    26 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Hidden but focusable

    5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 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 (49 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 49 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.

  • 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.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 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: 42 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 442 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 442 pages on rockrun.com and 8 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 126 characters

    Your meta description is 126 characters: “Selling specialist climbing and mountaineering equipment for climbers, mountaineers, hill walkers and fell runners sinc…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Rock+Run”.

  • Title: 45 characters

  • Canonical URL set

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • 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://rockrun.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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 (2,176 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

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

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://rockrun.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://rockrun.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://rockrun.com/policies/refund-policy and https://rockrun.com/collections/ash-climbing have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://rockrun.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    https://rockrun.com/collections/8bplus, https://rockrun.com/collections/alpina and https://rockrun.com/collections/ash-climbing took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    43 of 45 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • About 329 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 329 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP OUTLET”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop Outlet”, “Contact Us” and “Shop now”.

  • 10 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 rockrun.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
