Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 309 KiBAbout 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
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 113 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (113 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
300 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Shopify adds 169 ms
169 msShopify 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 KiBPolyfills 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.

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 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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: 10.1 s
10.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.9 s
4.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe 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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 15 ms
15 msScripts block the page for only 15 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 360 requests
2.3 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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.

Other pages
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.

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.
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
