Speed

12 to fix40
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ZenDesk and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 881 KiB

    About 881 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 945 KiB

    5 images could be 945 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 478 ms

    478 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 478 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.

  • ZenDesk adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 480 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 · 61 KiB

    About 61 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.

  • 2,713 HTML elements

    The page has 2,713 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Klaviyo adds 123 ms

    123 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 123 ms of main-thread work and 337 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.

  • Google CDN adds 84 ms

    84 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 84 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 246 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 37 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (37 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    32 KiB

    32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 42 ms

    42 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 42 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.1 s

    13.1 s

    Your largest element takes 13.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.1 s

    26.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 605 ms

    605 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 605 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 221 ms

    221 ms

    Real visitors wait 221 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.137

    0.137

    The layout shifts by 0.137 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 517 ms

    517 ms

    Real visitors wait 517 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 17% faster for real visitors

    -17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 205 ms to 162 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 32% faster for real visitors

    -32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 5.3 MB in 285 requests

    5.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 285 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (107), images 2.0 MB (46) and other files 789 KiB (112). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (617 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (118 KiB) is 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.50 g of CO₂e: 179.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8489
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 13 images without alt text

    13 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 10 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 138 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 320 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 320 pages on serapian.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Precious materials, handmade craftsmanship, and Made in Italy excellence are the distinctive hallmark of Serapian, a sy…”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Serapian Boutique Online - Luxury Bags and Accessories since 1928”.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.serapian.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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,763 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.serapian.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://www.serapian.com/pages/mosaico-chiaroscuro, https://www.serapian.com/pages/secret-bag and https://www.serapian.com/pages/maro-bag have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.serapian.com/collections/woman-new-arrivals took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 143 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 34 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 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 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 10-field form

    Your longest form asks for 10 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • About 508 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 508 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Request a Return” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 27 cookies set on arrival

    27

    Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies, 2 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.

  • 41 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 41 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 serapian.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
