Speed
Improve image delivery
8.0 s · 1.6 MB1 image could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.5 s · 613 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (613 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.2 s · 602 KiBAbout 602 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
4,407 HTML elements
The page has 4,407 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 710 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 377 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
route.com adds 317 ms
317 msroute.com costs a phone 317 ms of main-thread work and 542 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.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 964 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 135 ms
135 msKlaviyo costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 307 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
100 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
CUT_HANDS_MV_GIF.gif weighs 10.9 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 220 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 220 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (17), scripts 1.4 MB (82) and other files 735 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (11.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (10.9 MB) 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
blue-private-music-t-shirt-apparel-173.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).
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 143.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

48 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: 48 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Your title is only 29 characters: “Deftones Official Merchandise”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is short (65 characters)
Your meta description is only 65 characters: “Shop official Deftones merchandise and music in the online store.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

Your <h1> is empty.
61 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 61 pages on shopdeftones.com and 1 external page.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

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 (1,620 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://shopdeftones.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://shopdeftones.com/policies/shipping-policy has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 181 words
The homepage has only about 181 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
3 checks passed
5 calls to action

5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.
16 cookies set on arrival
16Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 1 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.
31 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 31 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 shopdeftones.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
