Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 452 KiBAbout 452 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, reamaze.com and shop.app and others), adding 48.6 MB and 170 ms of main-thread time.
tiktokcdn-us.com adds 0 ms
0 mstiktokcdn-us.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 46.1 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.
Improve image delivery
1.6 MB8 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 215 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (215 KiB).
2,524 HTML elements
The page has 2,524 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 117 ms
117 msShopify costs a phone 117 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
tiktokcdn-eu.com adds 0 ms
0 mstiktokcdn-eu.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

50.1 MBYour homepage downloads 50.1 MB in 338 requests on a phone: media 45.5 MB (6), images 2.1 MB (23) and other files 1.1 MB (147). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 14.2 g of CO₂ per visit
14.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 14.20 g of CO₂e: 1704.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Form elements must have labels (1 element)
Form elements must have labels: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 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 (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Shiny Car Stuff”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is short (50 characters)
Your meta description is only 50 characters: “Easy to use, wipe on clear coat for damaged paint.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
35 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 35 pages on shinycarstuff.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://shinycarstuff.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, ProductGroup 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://shinycarstuff.com/sitemap.xml.
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 (828 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /pages/reviews, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/ and /products/shiny-car-stuff all use the title “Shiny Car Stuff”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
/collections/all-products, /customer_authentication/redirect, /policies/shipping-policy, /policies/terms-of-service, /policies/privacy-policy and /policies/refund-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
/pages/faq, /pages/videos, /pages/contact, /pages/find-a-distributor-near-you and /customer_authentication/redirect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
14 internal pages checked
We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

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.
No analytics detected

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.
