Speed
Main-thread work: 26.0 s
A phone's processor spends 26.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
hcaptcha.com adds 1.8 s
1.8 shcaptcha.com costs a phone 1.8 s of main-thread work and 1.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, Clarity and Affirm and others), adding 31.4 MB and 3.4 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 277 ms
277 msShopify costs a phone 277 ms of main-thread work and 29.5 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
570 KiBAbout 570 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 568 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Clarity adds 445 ms
445 msClarity costs a phone 445 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 137 KiB5 images could be 137 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Affirm adds 389 ms
389 msAffirm costs a phone 389 ms of main-thread work and 165 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 313 ms
313 msKlaviyo costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 420 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
331 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (331 KiB).
2,630 HTML elements
The page has 2,630 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
84 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 84 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
47 KiBAbout 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
10 KiB10 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals

2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
29 images without width and height
29 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors
+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 190 ms to 219 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 106.9 MB in 633 requests
106.9 MBYour homepage downloads 106.9 MB in 633 requests on a phone: media 96.1 MB (31), images 6.1 MB (46) and scripts 2.3 MB (211). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
512 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 37c498acccf2368dbe02a774ee97799809a61dbb.png at 3,840 px wide, shown at 280 px. Resized copies would save about 512 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (638 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 30.3 g of CO₂ per visit
30.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 30.29 g of CO₂e: 3635.0 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
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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, h1 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “Step out. Light up.” and “Step out. Light up.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
57 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 57 pages on shiftrobotics.io and 15 external pages.
7 checks passed

AI search readiness
4 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,544 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://shiftrobotics.io/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://shiftrobotics.io/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
3 linked pages hidden from search
https://shiftrobotics.io/products/moonwalkers-aero, https://shiftrobotics.io/customer_authentication/redirect and https://shiftrobotics.io/pages/news are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without a meta description
https://shiftrobotics.io/pages/sensa, https://shiftrobotics.io/pages/accessories, https://shiftrobotics.io/customer_authentication/redirect and https://shiftrobotics.io/blogs/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://shiftrobotics.io/blogs/news, whose canonical is https://shiftrobotics.io/blogs/blog. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
9 pages without an H1
https://shiftrobotics.io/pages/about, https://shiftrobotics.io/pages/support, https://shiftrobotics.io/customer_authentication/redirect, https://shiftrobotics.io/pages/news, https://shiftrobotics.io/blogs/blog/the-speed-of-a-run-the-impact-of-a-walk and https://shiftrobotics.io/blogs/blog/shiftos-3-1-release and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
