Speed

5 to fix69
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 309 KiB

    About 309 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 113 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (113 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

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

  • Shopify adds 169 ms

    169 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 169 ms of main-thread work and 728 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 822 KiB and 188 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 65 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 641 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.1 s

    10.1 s

    Your 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: 10.1 s

    10.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 15 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 360 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 360 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (203), scripts 843 KiB (116) and fonts 143 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    blank-wood-frame-chalkboard-hangs-on-a-blue-wall.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 77.8 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 are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

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

1 checks passed
  • 47 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: 47 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Simple Comprehension”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (231 characters)

    Your meta description is 231 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 24 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on simplecomprehension.com and 4 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Simple Comprehension”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Product 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://www.simplecomprehension.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

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

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /collections/books, /pages/availability, /customer_authentication/redirect, /policies/terms-of-service and /policies/refund-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /pages/availability and /policies/refund-policy have 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.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error producing monorail event MonorailRequestError: Error completing request. A network failure may have prevented the…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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 105 words

    The homepage has only about 105 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: “Shop Resources”.

  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Shop Resources”.

  • 5 short forms

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

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 TikTok Pixel (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 simplecomprehension.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
