Speed

2 to fix74
  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 112 ms

    112 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 112 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    245 KiB

    5 images could be 245 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    About 29 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shop.app and Calendly and others), adding 366 KiB and 121 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    23 KiB

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

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 571 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix75
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Your largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 236 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 236 requests on a phone: images 756 KiB (14), other files 742 KiB (93) and scripts 439 KiB (110). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (209 KiB) are 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.62 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 73.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9497
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9281
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Des articles promotionnels qui soutiennent ce qui compte – Samara & Co”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Samara & Co” and “Des produits personnalisés qui soutiennent ce qui…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (193 characters)

    Your meta description is 193 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 14 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 14 pages on samara-co.com and 15 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://samara-co.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: OnlineStore, Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://samara-co.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://samara-co.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.

3 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 (423 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://samara-co.com/pages/contactez-nous has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://samara-co.com/collections/vetements-1/products/chandail-manche-longue-personnalisable-de-type-crewneck-avec-coton-organique-et-fait-au-quebec, whose canonical is https://samara-co.com/products/chandail-manche-longue-personnalisable-de-type-crewneck-avec-coton-organique-et-fait-au-quebec. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://samara-co.com/pages/contactez-nous has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 3 internal pages checked

    We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 3 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 3 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://assets.calendly.com/assets/external/widget.css' from origin 'https://samara-co.com…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    9 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 analytics detected

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

  • 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 287 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 287 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “[email protected]”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 3 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 samara-co.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Your storefront loads 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.
