Speed
7,517 HTML elements
The page has 7,517 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 511 KiB8 images could be 511 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Foursixty and others), adding 1.0 MB and 653 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 361 KiBAbout 361 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.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 160 ms
160 msShopify costs a phone 160 ms of main-thread work and 477 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 226 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (226 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 23.8 MB in 464 requests
23.8 MBYour homepage downloads 23.8 MB in 464 requests on a phone: media 18.2 MB (3), images 2.9 MB (50) and other files 1.4 MB (244). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (540 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (94 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 6.8 g of CO₂ per visit
6.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.75 g of CO₂e: 810.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
11 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
17 images without alt text
17 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
16 links without text
16 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (200 characters)
Your meta description is 200 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
164 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 164 pages on runwayscout.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://runwayscout.com/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.
1 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.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://runwayscout.com/collections/best-sellers has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
8 pages without an H1

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 144 words
The homepage has only about 144 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.
4 checks passed

22 cookies set on arrival
22Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
