Speed
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 376 KiB6 images could be 376 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
audioeye.com adds 1.6 s
1.6 saudioeye.com costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 309 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye.com, Shopify and 506.io and others), adding 1.8 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Shopify adds 311 ms
311 msShopify costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
405 KiBAbout 405 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 37 KiBAbout 37 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.
2,514 HTML elements
The page has 2,514 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 124 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (124 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 36 KiB36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 90 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

8.1 sYour largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “my violet spider backpacks banner showing black and pink pl…”.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.9 MB in 360 requests
4.9 MBYour homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 360 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (181), scripts 1.2 MB (76) and other files 838 KiB (85). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
sabrina-mobile.gif weighs 547 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
sabrina-mobile.gif 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).
2 images in older formats
2 images (607 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 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 166.6 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
26 text elements with low contrast
26 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 363 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (9 characters)
Your title is only 9 characters: “My Violet”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
115 internal links, 16 external
The homepage links to 115 pages on shopmyviolet.com and 16 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 118 characters
Your meta description is 118 characters: “My Violet is dedicated to the dreamy world of pastel. Soften your closet color palette and step into dreamland. XS-5X!”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://shopmyviolet.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://shopmyviolet.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://shopmyviolet.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
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (857 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://shopmyviolet.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://shopmyviolet.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
6 pages without a meta description
https://shopmyviolet.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/collaborations, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/pero-pero-sparkles, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/gloomy-bear-x-my-violet, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/shop-all and https://shopmyviolet.com/pages/shop-by-color have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
https://shopmyviolet.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/collaborations, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/pero-pero-sparkles, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/gloomy-bear-x-my-violet, https://shopmyviolet.com/collections/shop-all and https://shopmyviolet.com/pages/shop-by-color 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 56 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
6 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
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.
Best practices
18 small tap targets
18 of 69 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Identifier 'pandaSizeChartCollIds' has already been declared”.
1 checks passed
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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 236 words
The homepage has only about 236 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
2 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop By Color”, “Shop In Person” and “Start A Return”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag and 1 more (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.
23 cookies set on arrival
23Opening the homepage sets 23 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.
41 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 41 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 shopmyviolet.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
