Speed

14 to fix39
  • 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 s

    hcaptcha.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 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Clarity 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 KiB

    5 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 ms

    Affirm 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 ms

    Klaviyo 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 KiB

    16 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    84 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 84 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    10 KiB

    10 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 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Your largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Step out. Light up.”.

  • Time to Interactive: 40.5 s

    40.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 40.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 282 ms

    282 ms

    Real visitors wait 282 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 860 ms

    860 ms

    Real visitors wait 860 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The 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).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix28
  • Page weight: 106.9 MB in 633 requests

    106.9 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

4 to fixGoogle 8894
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 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
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Moonwalkers are powered shoes that give you vehicle speed with the freedom of walking. Meet Dusk: the lightest ever bui…”.

  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Step out. Light up. – Shift Robotics”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://shiftrobotics.io/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://shiftrobotics.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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

5 to fix63
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 851 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 851 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Learn more”, “Shop now” and “Download iOS App”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks and 24 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 28 cookies set on arrival

    28

    Opening the homepage sets 28 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (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.

  • 49 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 49 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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