Speed

12 to fix29
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.4 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 992 KiB

    39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (992 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 29

    29/100

    Your mobile performance score is 29 (desktop: 62). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,721 HTML elements

    The page has 5,721 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 (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Nosto and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 660 ms

    660 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 660 ms of main-thread work and 678 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 319 KiB

    14 images could be 319 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 93 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 93 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 331 ms

    331 ms

    Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 331 ms of main-thread work and 537 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 350 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Nosto adds 268 ms

    268 ms

    Nosto costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 89 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    210 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 210 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 62 but mobile only 29. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.3 s

    21.3 s

    Your largest element takes 21.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Main image for Extra 40% Off Everything”.

  • Speed Index: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.6 s

    31.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.23

    0.23

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.23 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • 18 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 133 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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: 466 ms

    466 ms

    Real visitors wait 466 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.069

    0.069

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.069, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB in 332 requests

    5.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 332 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (100), other files 1.2 MB (149) and fonts 629 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.46 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.46 g of CO₂e: 175.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 10089
  • 16 images without alt text

    16 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 checks passed
  • 16 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 16 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 16 passed and 0 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9283
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 34 links crawlers can't follow

    34 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • Meta description is long (219 characters)

    Your meta description is 219 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 476 internal links, 35 external

    The homepage links to 476 pages on shopsimon.com and 35 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 45 characters

    Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “ShopSimon: Brands You Love. 24/7. | ShopSimon”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://shop.simon.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: OnlineBusiness.

  • 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://shop.simon.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description 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.

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 (1,327 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 3 pages share a meta description

    https://shop.simon.com/collections/home, https://shop.simon.com/collections/sunglasses and https://shop.simon.com/collections/curated-mens-womens-watches use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://shop.simon.com/collections/women-jewelry, whose canonical is https://shop.simon.com/collections/store-womens-jewelry. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://shop.simon.com/collections/curated-deals, https://shop.simon.com/collections/women, https://shop.simon.com/collections/men, https://shop.simon.com/collections/shoes, https://shop.simon.com/collections/women-handbags and https://shop.simon.com/collections/kids and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://shop.simon.com/collections/women has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 175 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 9270
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187032266&Ver=2&mid=09d59b4c-8dbf-4637-9730-5bbc442cc169&bo=1&sid=c55603c0cd4111f19c5e71a8063cf334&vid=c55628c0cd4111f1b98dd773e6bcb65f&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 28 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 1,253 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,253 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: “Sign in to get your rewards & perks!”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “SHOP SALE”, “Shop all Brands” and “Linz Shop”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and The Trade Desk (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.

  • 33 cookies set on arrival

    33

    Opening the homepage sets 33 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.

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 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 shopsimon.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
