Speed
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 658 KiB17 images could be 658 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 324 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (324 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (queen.one, helpcenterapp.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 734 KiB and 554 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 173 KiBAbout 173 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 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: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,697 HTML elements
The page has 2,697 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
helpcenterapp.com adds 202 ms
202 mshelpcenterapp.com costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 194 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 351 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 351 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (35), scripts 1.0 MB (142) and other files 1,006 KiB (152). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
222 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ron-editorial-bbc-desktop.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 222 KiB.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.8 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.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 93 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Tap targets are thumb-sized
56 of 59 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

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.
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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.
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 597 words of copy
The homepage carries about 597 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Shop the selection →” and “Contact information”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.
22 cookies set on arrival
22Opening the homepage sets 22 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.
29 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 29 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 ruleofnext.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
