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
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 1.1 MB60 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Main-thread work: 6.8 s
A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,475 HTML elements
The page has 5,475 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Convert Insights and Klaviyo and others), adding 8.6 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 942 KiBAbout 942 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 354 KiB10 images could be 354 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 357 ms
357 msShopify costs a phone 357 ms of main-thread work and 7.0 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.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 188 KiBAbout 188 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Convert Insights adds 336 ms
336 msConvert Insights costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 163 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.
Klaviyo adds 210 ms
210 msKlaviyo costs a phone 210 ms of main-thread work and 692 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.
Yotpo adds 76 ms
76 msYotpo costs a phone 76 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
34 KiB34 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.5 MB in 600 requests
13.5 MBYour homepage downloads 13.5 MB in 600 requests on a phone: media 6.1 MB (2), scripts 3.1 MB (225) and images 2.1 MB (110). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Mask_group_-_2026-09-09T211129.860.png 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).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (54 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit
3.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.81 g of CO₂e: 457.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
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 (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Shady Rays® | Polarized Sunglasses | Polarized Su…”, “Shady Rays® | Polarized Sunglasses | Polarized Su…” and “One Goggle. All Conditions.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
282 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 282 pages on shadyray.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://shadyrays.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.
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: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,410 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://shadyrays.com/collections/women-all-styles and https://shadyrays.com/collections/fishing-collection have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://shadyrays.com/collections/men-all-styles, https://shadyrays.com/collections/women-all-styles, https://shadyrays.com/collections/kids and https://shadyrays.com/collections/fishing-collection have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
