Speed

8 to fix58
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.8 s · 793 KiB

    About 793 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

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

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, rebuyengine.com and Judge.me and others), adding 1.6 MB and 602 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    400 ms · 42 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (42 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 120 ms

    120 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 120 ms of main-thread work and 645 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.

  • Shopify adds 22 ms

    22 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 22 ms of main-thread work and 392 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 · 96 KiB

    6 images could be 96 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

    150 ms · 64 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 64 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 38 KiB

    About 38 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    100 ms · 10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix60
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    Your largest element takes 14.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.4 s

    17.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 219 ms

    219 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 219 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.084

    0.084

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.084, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 240 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 240 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (90), other files 823 KiB (95) and images 421 KiB (32). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.7 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

11 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 2 buttons without a name

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

  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail 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.

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • 2 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 10 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 9283
  • Title is short (13 characters)

    Your title is only 13 characters: “Show Cushions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “Proudly Canadian”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (296 characters)

    Your meta description is 296 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 89 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 89 pages on showcushions.com and 3 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://showcushions.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://showcushions.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (322 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://showcushions.com/collections/bhujodi, https://showcushions.com/collections/velvet and https://showcushions.com/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://showcushions.com/collections/macrame-1 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 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 18 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 268 words of copy

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 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.

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 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 showcushions.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
