Speed

13 to fix50
  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 652 KiB

    28 images could be 652 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Main-thread work: 6.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, ContentSquare and Osano CMP and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 50

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 790 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (790 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 491 KiB

    About 491 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 343 ms

    343 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 526 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.

  • ContentSquare adds 333 ms

    333 ms

    ContentSquare costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 167 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.

  • Osano CMP adds 284 ms

    284 ms

    Osano CMP costs a phone 284 ms of main-thread work and 88 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.

  • 2,311 HTML elements

    The page has 2,311 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 149 ms

    149 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 149 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.

  • Attentive adds 24 ms

    24 ms

    Attentive costs a phone 24 ms of main-thread work and 456 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 CSS

    150 ms · 106 KiB

    About 106 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.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 213 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).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

8 checks passed
  • 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)).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 6.5 MB in 474 requests

    6.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 474 requests on a phone: images 2.9 MB (68), scripts 1.8 MB (169) and other files 981 KiB (191). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    ruffworn_950d612d-6847-45e7-a2e5-977f689b24cd.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).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    47 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ruffworn_950d612d-6847-45e7-a2e5-977f689b24cd.jpg at 1,300 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 47 KiB.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.83 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.83 g of CO₂e: 219.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 498 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 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: 51 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Sweater weather, upgraded.” and “One vest. Double the duty.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 171 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 171 pages on ruffwear.com and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 144 characters

    Your meta description is 144 characters: “Building dog gear to enhance your outdoor adventures. Trail tested & rugged dog boots, dog coats, dog harnesses, dog li…”.

  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Performance Dog Gear | Ruffwear”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ruffwear.com/.

  • 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://ruffwear.com/sitemap.xml.

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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,178 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://ruffwear.com/pages/apparel-innovation has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    https://ruffwear.com/collections/ruffworn, https://ruffwear.com/products/front-range-everyday-dog-harness, https://ruffwear.com/products/web-master-harness, https://ruffwear.com/products/dog-harness-flagline, https://ruffwear.com/products/float-coat-dog-life-jacket and https://ruffwear.com/collections/dog-harnesses and 1 other 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 80 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    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 analytics detected

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