Speed

9 to fix61
  • Improve image delivery

    1.8 s · 402 KiB

    12 images could be 402 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 292 KiB

    About 292 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. 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 (Intercom, Cloudflare CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 439 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 851 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,660 HTML elements

    The page has 1,660 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 25 ms

    25 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 25 ms of main-thread work and 607 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.

  • Google Fonts adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 352 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

    150 ms · 64 KiB

    About 64 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 42 KiB

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

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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: 20.4 s

    20.4 s

    Your largest element takes 20.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Build Stunning Shopify Stores That Convert”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.5 s

    20.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 139 ms to 162 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 164 ms

    164 ms

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 631 ms

    631 ms

    Real visitors wait 631 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 33% faster for real visitors

    -33%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 170 ms

    170 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 170 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 179 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 179 requests on a phone: other files 1.1 MB (77), scripts 773 KiB (67) and images 731 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    52 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 140_Features.svg at 1,163 px wide, shown at 320 px. Resized copies would save about 52 KiB.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.96 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 115.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 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.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8792
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (19 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Table header text should not be empty (1 element)

    Table header text should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers.

    <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 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 8578
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (16 characters)

    Your title is only 16 characters: “Shrine Solutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 31 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on shrine.io and 15 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://shrine.io/.

  • 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://shrine.io/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 (996 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

6 to fix50
  • 1 page without a title

    https://shrine.io/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://shrine.io/discount/WELCOME declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://shrine.io/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://shrine.io/discount/WELCOME all use the title “Shrine Solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 13 pages without a meta description

    https://shrine.io/collections/frontpage, https://shrine.io/pages/features, https://shrine.io/pages/performance, https://shrine.io/blogs/ecommerce, https://shrine.io/customer_authentication/redirect and https://shrine.io/collections/all and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    https://shrine.io/collections/frontpage, https://shrine.io/pages/features, https://shrine.io/pages/performance, https://shrine.io/customer_authentication/redirect, https://shrine.io/collections/all and https://shrine.io/pages/faq and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught Error: Goaffpro is already loaded. This message prevents duplicate loading of the script. Kindly ignore.”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 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 527 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 527 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Join 10K+ Members on Discord”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Join 10K+ Members on Discord”, “PRICING” and “GET STARTED →”.

  • 6 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 testimonial or review blocks, 8 customer or partner logos and “Join 10K+ Members”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 28 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 28 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 shrine.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
