Speed

14 to fix41
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,381 HTML elements

    The page has 4,381 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 (csell.co, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 679 KiB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (679 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 1.0 MB

    16 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 104 KiB

    About 104 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 314 ms

    314 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 502 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.

  • Shopify adds 297 ms

    297 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 297 ms of main-thread work and 379 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 237 ms

    237 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 237 ms of main-thread work and 895 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.

  • csell.co adds 315 ms

    315 ms

    csell.co costs a phone 315 ms of main-thread work and 55 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.

  • Yotpo adds 181 ms

    181 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 181 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 183 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 80 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 80 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

    The page becomes fully interactive after 37.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

  • Total Blocking Time: 574 ms

    574 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 574 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 6.9 MB in 574 requests

    6.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.9 MB in 574 requests on a phone: scripts 3.1 MB (146), images 1.7 MB (68) and other files 1.3 MB (308). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Arc_Mobile_Banner_3_1024x.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    39 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example MicrosoftTeams-image_40_2d2ac0b5-93c6-4f6e-88ea-3a70f5da692e at 930 px wide, shown at 282 px. Resized copies would save about 39 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (121 KiB) is 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (25 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.96 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.96 g of CO₂e: 235.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 79 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 192 internal links, 6 external

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://shoparchipelago.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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

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.

  • 32 cookies set on arrival

    32

    Opening the homepage sets 32 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.

  • 58 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 58 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 shoparchipelago.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
