Speed

9 to fix43
  • Improve image delivery

    4.5 s · 1.3 MB

    37 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

    43/100

    Your 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 ms

    Signyfyd 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 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 70 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 129 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 68 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (68 KiB).

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 4 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • 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 image.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.2 s

    21.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.613

    0.613

    The 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 259 ms

    259 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 259 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 119 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 119 ms

    119 ms

    Real visitors wait 119 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 671 ms

    671 ms

    Real visitors wait 671 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix43
  • Page weight: 5.7 MB in 275 requests

    5.7 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    5 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 g

    By 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

11 to fixGoogle 7184
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 7783
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 138 characters

    Your meta description is 138 characters: “Whether you’re scuba diving, skateboarding or training for a marathon, Shop709 offers adventure gear that’s made for ri…”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Shop709 Adventure Gear | The World Is Yours – Shop709.com”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.shop709.com/.

  • 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://www.shop709.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (14,936 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.shop709.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix65
  • 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.

  • 13 pages without a meta description

    https://www.shop709.com/collections/forget-me-not, https://www.shop709.com/collections/scuba-category, https://www.shop709.com/collections/jacket, https://www.shop709.com/collections/back-inflate, https://www.shop709.com/collections/bcd-accessories and https://www.shop709.com/collections/scuba-regulators and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://www.shop709.com/collections/pick-your-own-free-gift, https://www.shop709.com/collections/forget-me-not, https://www.shop709.com/collections/jacket, https://www.shop709.com/collections/back-inflate, https://www.shop709.com/collections/bcd-accessories and https://www.shop709.com/collections/scuba-regulators and 7 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 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 29 small tap targets

    29 of 75 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 32 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 15-field form

    Your longest form asks for 15 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

  • About 503 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 503 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (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.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 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 shop709.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
