Speed

7 to fix58
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    37 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.3 s · 216 KiB

    About 216 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    700 ms · 1.5 MB

    4 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    650 ms · 143 KiB

    31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (143 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 87 KiB

    About 87 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 92 ms

    92 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 92 ms of main-thread work and 355 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Yotpo and Facebook and others), adding 1,012 KiB and 254 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    18 KiB

    18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    5 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 5 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 561 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 40 ms

    40 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 40 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.8 s

    25.8 s

    Your largest element takes 25.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “banner”.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.9 s

    26.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 33 images without width and height

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

  • 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 7.0 MB in 377 requests

    7.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.0 MB in 377 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (53), scripts 1.0 MB (147) and other files 868 KiB (143). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 3.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example shere.jpg at 3,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (1.6 MB) 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (64 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.98 g of CO₂e: 237.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

13 to fixGoogle 6785
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (21 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 21 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • 14 links without text

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

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names.

    Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names. (1 element).

  • Headings should not be empty (5 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 39 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: 39 passed and 11 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8585
  • No H1 headline

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 24 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on shoreprojects.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 144 characters

    Your meta description is 144 characters: “Shore Projects is inspired by the beauty and fun of the seaside. Our ambition is to create timeless, quality watches th…”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Shore Projects | Shore Projects | Watches inspired by the Seaside”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.shoreprojects.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Shore Projects.

  • 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://www.shoreprojects.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (505 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.shoreprojects.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.shoreprojects.com/collections/all-watches, https://www.shoreprojects.com/blogs/news and https://www.shoreprojects.com/pages/faqs have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 9 pages without an H1

    https://www.shoreprojects.com/collections/all-watches, https://www.shoreprojects.com/collections/straps, https://www.shoreprojects.com/products/gift-card, https://www.shoreprojects.com/pages/about, https://www.shoreprojects.com/blogs/news and https://www.shoreprojects.com/collections/watches and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6976
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.shoreprojects.com/cdn/shop/t/27/assets/WhiteShoreFlag_191195595fb808c789a15183aaae5e8d.png?v=13284.

  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    15 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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 248 words

    The homepage has only about 248 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “SHOP NOW” and “Contact Us”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies, 2 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.

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 shoreprojects.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
