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
1.3 s · 443 KiB4 images could be 443 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
13,682 HTML elements
The page has 13,682 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 11.4 s
A phone's processor spends 11.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, iubenda and Shopify and others), adding 834 KiB and 721 ms of main-thread time.
Klaviyo adds 356 ms
356 msKlaviyo costs a phone 356 ms of main-thread work and 420 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 71 KiBAbout 71 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 322 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 40 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (40 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
167 KiBAbout 167 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 250 requests
4.6 MBYour homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 250 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (40), scripts 882 KiB (138) and other files 694 KiB (46). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 154.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
44 links without text
44 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 884 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
21 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 21 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 21 passed and 0 failed. 1 more 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.
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Sebago: Loafers, Boat Shoes & Clothing for Men and Women – Sebago.com”.
No structured data

5 checks passed
