Speed

4 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.0 s · 216 KiB

    About 216 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 134 KiB

    21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (134 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (growave.io, rise-ai.com and Google CDN and others), adding 581 KiB and 255 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    250 ms · 16 KiB

    16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 37 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    99 KiB

    4 images could be 99 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 53 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).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 531 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.1 s

    10.1 s

    Your largest element takes 10.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “the Mei bag”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 3 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 211 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 211 requests on a phone: scripts 795 KiB (66), other files 783 KiB (108) and images 668 KiB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (100 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.66 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 78.9 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

3 to fixGoogle 9395
  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100

    The homepage links to 94 pages on roughandtumbledesign.com and 11 external pages.

8 checks passed

AI search readiness

100
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, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (383 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://roughandtumble.com/collections/crossbody-shoulder-bags and https://roughandtumble.com/collections/wallets have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://roughandtumble.com/collections/crossbody-shoulder-bags and https://roughandtumble.com/collections/wallets have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

4 to fix71
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. 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.

  • Only about 178 words

    The homepage has only about 178 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
  • Clear next step on the first screen

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “subscribe”, “shop.cls-1{fill:#231f20}” and “customize your bag start here”.

  • 4 short forms

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

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 Pinterest Tag (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, 1 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 roughandtumbledesign.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
