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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.6 s · 4.2 MB146 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.2 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s48 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61 (desktop: 68). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Font display
550 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 550 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 107 KiBAbout 107 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
375 KiBAbout 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google CDN adds 245 ms
245 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 245 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 929 KiB and 297 ms of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 74 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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.
Improve image delivery
5 KiB1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 492 ms
492 msYour server sent the HTML in 492 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user LCP: 4.4 s
4.4 sReal visitors wait 4.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.3 s

Real-user TTFB: 2.0 s

Largest Contentful Paint: 16.7 s
16.7 sYour largest element takes 16.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “VISION Be the go-to provider for all home appliance and HVA…”.
Time to Interactive: 20.2 s
20.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sThe first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.1 s
7.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.13
0.13For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.13 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.5 MB in 165 requests
7.5 MBYour homepage downloads 7.5 MB in 165 requests on a phone: images 5.2 MB (51), scripts 979 KiB (50) and fonts 701 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
freepik_edit_Candid-image-photography-natural-textures-highl weighs 538 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
9 images in older formats
9 images (1.9 MB) are 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 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.11 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.11 g of CO₂e: 253.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 49 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 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
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
144 internal links, 19 external
The homepage links to 144 pages on shaker.com.sa and 19 external pages.
8 checks passed

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://shaker.com.sa/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (1 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://shaker.com.sa/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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

Content and conversion
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: 9 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 246 words
The homepage has only about 246 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No risk reducer

3 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact IR” and “Get In Touch”.
Analytics in place

Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.
Privacy and tracking
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (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.
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
