Speed

4 to fix84
  • Mobile performance score: 84

    84/100

    Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 126 KiB

    About 126 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 34 KiB

    About 34 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.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TrustArc and Shopify and others), adding 439 KiB and 242 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    53 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (53 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 679 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 286 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 286 requests on a phone: other files 1.3 MB (235), scripts 575 KiB (37) and images 89 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 71.3 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

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “Schick US”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 51 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on schick.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Shop the Schick site for razors, refills, shaving cream and more for men and women. Browse a variety of Schick products…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Welcome to Schick®”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.schick.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.

  • 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://www.schick.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.schick.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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (439 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix78
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://www.schick.com/collections/shop-all declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://www.schick.com/collections/shop-all all use the title “Schick US”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://www.schick.com/pages/schick, https://www.schick.com/pages/edge, https://www.schick.com/pages/wilkinson-sword, https://www.schick.com/collections/mens-razors-blades-shave-prep, https://www.schick.com/pages/skintimate and https://www.schick.com/pages/quattro-for-women and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    13 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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 211 words

    The homepage has only about 211 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
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Where to buy”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop By Product” and “Shop By Brand”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Pinterest Tag and Reddit Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (TrustArc) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: TrustArc

    A consent management tool (TrustArc) loads with the page.
