Not measured in this review.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user CLS: 0.39
0.39For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.39 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user LCP: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 250 ms
250 msReal visitors wait 250 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 40% slower for real visitors
+40%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 179 ms to 254 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s
1.0 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
1 checks passed
Real-user FCP: 1.6 s
1.6 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.7 MB
5.7 MBYour homepage downloads 5.7 MB on a phone, 245 KiB of it images (4%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
FS701Series_HomePage_Marquee_PreRelease_Mobile 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 in older formats
1 image (62 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 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.61 g of CO₂e: 193.2 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
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (24 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (5 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
25 tap targets too small
25 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (24 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
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 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 92 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
406 internal links, 45 external
The homepage links to 406 pages on sharkninja.com and 45 external pages.
8 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.sharkninja.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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,642 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.sharkninja.com/order-status has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
7 pages without an H1
https://www.sharkninja.com/order-status, https://www.sharkninja.com/discover/trending-now/practical-magic, https://www.sharkninja.com/discover/trending-now/shark-beauty-limited-edition-collections, https://www.sharkninja.com/discover/trending-now/breast-cancer-research-foundation, https://www.sharkninja.com/creami-diet and https://www.sharkninja.com/discover/collaborations/marilyn-monroe-collection and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
