Speed

8 to fix77
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    21.5 MB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (21.5 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 173 KiB

    About 173 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 381 KiB

    14 images could be 381 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 77 KiB

    About 77 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.

  • Shopify adds 383 ms

    383 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 430 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.

  • 2,209 HTML elements

    The page has 2,209 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Cookiebot and prismic.io), adding 680 KiB and 456 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 643 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • 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: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Your largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 21 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 88 ms

    88 ms

    Real visitors wait 88 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.053

    0.053

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.053, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 50 ms

    50 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 50 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 22.9 MB in 86 requests

    22.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 22.9 MB in 86 requests on a phone: media 21.4 MB (5), images 732 KiB (47) and scripts 520 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    _lUSIyxSRbSktB3g_HPHero-mobile-092625-1keegan.jpg 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 6.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.49 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.49 g of CO₂e: 778.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fix95
  • 7 tap targets too small

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

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8373
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“CLARITY RUNS DEEP.”, “PROVEN PERFORMANCE.” and “BACK TO WORK.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 171 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 171 pages on roka.co and 15 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 47 characters

    Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “ROKA: Performance Sunglasses, Eyewear & Apparel”.

  • 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://www.roka.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.

  • 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (609 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    /pages/gift-guide-2026, /collections/sunglasses-for-running, /collections/sunglasses-for-cycling, /collections/sunglasses-for-triathlon, /collections/snow-goggles and /collections/sunglasses-for-hiking and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /pages/gift-guide-2026 and /collections/winddown-eyewear 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 75 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 93 small tap targets

    93 of 151 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: Minified React error #418; visit https://reactjs.org/docs/error-decoder.html?invariant=418 for the full message …”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix80
  • No social proof

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

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 633 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 633 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Non-Prescription” and “Shop Prescription”.

  • 22 calls to action

    The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “Virtual Try-On”, “Shop Non-Prescription” and “Shop Prescription”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 5 other companies contacted

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 roka.co, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
