Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.0 s · 2.6 MB37 images could be 2.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
5,622 HTML elements
The page has 5,622 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.1 MB and 454 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
392 KiBAbout 392 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Shopify adds 185 ms
185 msShopify costs a phone 185 ms of main-thread work and 558 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
150 ms · 233 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (233 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 95 KiBAbout 95 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.2 MB in 258 requests
10.2 MBYour homepage downloads 10.2 MB in 258 requests on a phone: media 4.5 MB (1), images 3.5 MB (52) and scripts 1.0 MB (85). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit
2.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.88 g of CO₂e: 346.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets (1 element)
Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
14 images without alt text
14 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h4 and h3 → h6), 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. (4 elements).

12 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 14 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 12 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“RIBES&CASALS Passion for fabrics since 1933” and “RIBES & CASALS”). 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 “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.ribescasals.com)”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
484 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 484 pages on rycfabrics.com and 22 external pages.
5 checks passed

llms.txt published

Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /pages/tiendas, whose canonical is /pages/stores. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 pages without an H1
/pages/delivery-and-shipping-times, /pages/tiendas, /collections/fabrics, /collections/purpose, /collections/collection-more-ways-to-shop-fabrics and /collections/quilted-fabrics and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/collections/coral-fleece-fabrics took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
