Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
480 ms · 154 KiBAbout 154 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
357 KiB9 images could be 357 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 210 ms
210 msShopify costs a phone 210 ms of main-thread work and 385 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and cloudfront.net and others), adding 827 KiB and 436 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 97 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (97 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.1 s
10.1 sYour largest element takes 10.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.3 s
10.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.0 s
6.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 77 ms
77 msScripts block the page for only 77 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 390 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 390 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (198), images 886 KiB (25) and scripts 820 KiB (145). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 100.8 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
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (305 characters)
Your meta description is 305 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
77 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 77 pages on shopthicket.com and 2 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Thicket”.
Title: 43 characters
Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Thicket Jewelry - minimal botanical jewelry”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thicketjewelry.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://thicketjewelry.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.
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 (424 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thicketjewelry.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://thicketjewelry.com/pages/custom-work and https://thicketjewelry.com/pages/custom-natural-objects have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://thicketjewelry.com/collections/shop-by-category and https://thicketjewelry.com/collections/shop-by-collection use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 pages without an H1
https://thicketjewelry.com/collections/made-to-order, https://thicketjewelry.com/pages/custom-work and https://thicketjewelry.com/pages/custom-natural-objects have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
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.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 258 words of copy
The homepage carries about 258 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
