Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 545 KiBAbout 545 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
860 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 860 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 771 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 83 ms
83 msShopify costs a phone 83 ms of main-thread work and 792 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 (Judge.me, Shopify and Privy and others), adding 1,001 KiB and 359 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 38 KiB2 images could be 38 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 31 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (31 KiB).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 97 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 84 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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 JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 216 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 216 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (58), images 814 KiB (28) and other files 806 KiB (113). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.83 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.83 g of CO₂e: 99.9 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
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 47 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 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: 46 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Karaoke Systems - Mobile, At Home, Bluetooth | The Singing Machine”.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Singing Machine”, “WIFI PLATINUM” and “SINGCAST ONE”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
67 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 67 pages on singingmachine.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 148 characters
Your meta description is 148 characters: “Welcome to The Singing Machine website! We have karaoke systems to satisfy any consumer’s needs and we sell the best qu…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://singingmachine.com/.
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://singingmachine.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (850 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://singingmachine.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://singingmachine.com/collections/microphones, https://singingmachine.com/collections/all and https://singingmachine.com/pages/reviews-products have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://singingmachine.com/pages/support has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
Scrolls sideways on phones
On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.
6 small tap targets
6 of 27 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Shopify's Google Analytics stub called with: [array Array] See https://help.shopify.com/manual/promoting-marketing/pixe…”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 131 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 709 words of copy
The homepage carries about 709 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP WIFI KARAOKE”.
12 calls to action
The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Start shopping” and “SHOP WIFI KARAOKE”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight 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.
23 cookies set on arrival
23Opening the homepage sets 23 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.
40 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 40 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 singingmachine.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
