Speed
Render-blocking requests
150 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Bootstrap CDN and Amazon Web Services and others), adding 47 KiB and 2 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

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

Images and page weight
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.24 g of CO₂e: 28.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Page weight: 850 KiB in 83 requests
850 KiBYour homepage downloads 850 KiB in 83 requests on a phone: other files 688 KiB (68), scripts 95 KiB (8) and fonts 31 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 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.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
19 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 24 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 19 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
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.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://shoptearsforfears.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
Only 2 internal links
The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
3 checks passed
Title: 31 characters
Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Tears For Fears | Official Shop”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://shoptearsforfears.com/password.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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://shoptearsforfears.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.
1 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.
Other pages

Best practices

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
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 17 words
The homepage has only about 17 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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed

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 shoptearsforfears.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
