Speed
6,317 HTML elements
The page has 6,317 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.5 s
A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
2.2 MB30 images could be 2.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
170 ms · 1,019 KiBAbout 1,019 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 MB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 593 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
route.com adds 499 ms
499 msroute.com costs a phone 499 ms of main-thread work and 542 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.
Webkul adds 63 ms
63 msWebkul costs a phone 63 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.
Minify JavaScript
133 KiB133 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 5.8 MB in 196 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 196 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (39), scripts 1.8 MB (76) and other files 1,019 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
MorbidPleasures__1920x700_02.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
8 images far larger than shown
33 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example MorbidPleasures_Bundle.jpg at 390 px wide, shown at 126 px. Resized copies would save about 33 KiB.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.66 g of CO₂e: 198.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
27 text elements with low contrast
27 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
1 checks passed
48 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: 48 passed and 3 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Severin Films | Celebrating 20 Years | Entertainment With Sharp Edges”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (306 characters)
Your meta description is 306 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
188 internal links, 21 external
The homepage links to 188 pages on severinfilms.com and 21 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Severin Films”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://severinfilms.com/.
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://severinfilms.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (2,616 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://severinfilms.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
https://severinfilms.com/collections/shop, https://severinfilms.com/collections/partner-labels, https://severinfilms.com/collections/bundles, https://severinfilms.com/collections/uhd, https://severinfilms.com/collections/blu-ray and https://severinfilms.com/collections/dvd and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
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 925 words of copy
The homepage carries about 925 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
3 checks passed

10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

28 other companies contacted

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 severinfilms.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
