Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
9,159 HTML elements
The page has 9,159 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.2 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 799 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (799 KiB).
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 773 KiB11 images could be 773 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 107 KiBAbout 107 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, unsplash.com and Google Analytics and others), adding 1.3 MB and 421 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 421 ms
421 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 421 ms of main-thread work and 179 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: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
supabase.co adds 0 ms
0 mssupabase.co costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 200 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.

Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s
1.8 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.444
0.444The layout shifts by 0.444 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s
5.0 sYour largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “5 Best Convertible Booster Car Seats for Growing Kids”. Most of its time is resource load delay (2.9 s).
Time to Interactive: 5.0 s
5.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Speed Index: 3.2 s
3.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
First Contentful Paint: 0.8 s
0.8 sThe first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 21 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 21 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (13), scripts 248 KiB (2) and other files 111 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at shoppingnetwork.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

Title: 50 characters
Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “ShoppingNetwork - Expert Shopping Guides & Reviews”.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://shoppingnetwork.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://shoppingnetwork.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.
Best practices
4 small tap targets
4 of 20 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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 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 70 words
The homepage has only about 70 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.

Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 shoppingnetwork.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
