Speed
Improve image delivery
4.5 s · 1.3 MB37 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,118 HTML elements
The page has 3,118 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 807 KiB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Signyfyd adds 754 ms
754 msSignyfyd costs a phone 754 ms of main-thread work and 281 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.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 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.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 303 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
129 KiBAbout 129 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 68 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (68 KiB).
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Legacy JavaScript
4 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 4 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

12.5 sYour 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 image.
Time to Interactive: 21.2 s
21.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.613
0.613The layout shifts by 0.613 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
43 images without width and height
43 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Speed Index: 4.8 s
4.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 259 ms
259 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 259 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.7 MB in 275 requests
5.7 MBYour homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 275 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (114), other files 735 KiB (89) and scripts 652 KiB (53). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images far larger than shown
749 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example set7-banner_2560x.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 749 KiB.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (507 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (83 KiB) 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 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: 193.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
76 images without alt text
76 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (147 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 147 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
26 form fields without a label
26 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 11 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
36 links with vague text
36 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
363 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 363 pages on shop709.com and 0 external pages.

Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.shop709.com/collections/scuba-bcds, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
