Speed

7 to fix54
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    10.1 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.1 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Shopify and weglot.com and others), adding 3.2 MB and 788 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • YouTube adds 707 ms

    707 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 707 ms of main-thread work and 2.8 MB 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

    300 ms · 400 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (400 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 120 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    90 KiB

    About 90 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    26 KiB

    1 image could be 26 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix65
  • First Contentful Paint: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 15.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    Your largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Sample packs are collections of sounds, drum loops, acapell…”.

  • Speed Index: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.3 s

    26.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 145 ms

    145 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 145 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.7 MB in 191 requests

    4.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 191 requests on a phone: scripts 3.1 MB (71), other files 734 KiB (92) and HTML 297 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.32 g of CO₂e: 158.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

8 to fixGoogle 8791
  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links look like plain text

    4 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

  • 10 links without text

    10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 6 form fields without a label

    6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 12 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8592
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (MusicStore, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://samplified.us/search?q={search_term_string}")”.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 91 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 91 pages on samplified.us and 17 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Searching for sample packs, drum kits, and royalty free sounds for music production & bedroom producers. Check out some…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Sample Packs and Drum Kits”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Sample Packs, Drum Kits, and Royalty Free Sounds | Samplified”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://samplified.us/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://samplified.us/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: 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 (744 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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 analytics detected

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

  • 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 585 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 585 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop Now” and “Sign Up”.

  • 8 short forms

    8 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 4 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 samplified.us, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
