Speed

10 to fix68
  • 8,687 HTML elements

    The page has 8,687 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 8.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.5 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Cloudflare CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 MB

    12 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    890 KiB

    About 890 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 750 ms.

  • Klaviyo adds 377 ms

    377 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 377 ms of main-thread work and 511 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.

  • marsello.app adds 134 ms

    134 ms

    marsello.app costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 708 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

    158 KiB

    About 158 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    101 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (101 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.2 s

    22.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 358 ms

    358 ms

    Real visitors wait 358 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 96% slower for real visitors

    +96%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 255 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors wait 0.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 610 ms

    610 ms

    Real visitors wait 610 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 39% faster for real visitors

    -39%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 0.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Γ”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.01

    0.01

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 5.9 MB in 370 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 370 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (58), scripts 2.1 MB (114) and other files 864 KiB (145). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    500 KiB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example imgi_21_alemais-sustainable-dress-mini-kenny-mini-dress-1253 at 1,067 px wide, shown at 322 px. Resized copies would save about 500 KiB.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (1.5 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Rebe_NYC_L01_35MM_8950_600x600.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).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (121 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8091
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 12 buttons without a name

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

  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 24 links without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 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.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 466 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 466 pages on sistersandco.com and 0 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Sisters & Co is a luxury department store, delivering world class women's fashion brands to your doorstep. FREE Overnig…”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Sisters & Co | Womens Designer Clothing | FREE Shipping & Returns”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us.

  • 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://www.sistersandco.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 (4,066 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/collections/all, https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.sistersandco.com/policies/terms-of-service, https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/collections/anine-bing-sale-3 and https://www.sistersandco.com/collections/womens-new-arrivals have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.sistersandco.com/policies/terms-of-service, whose canonical is https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/policies/terms-of-service. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/collections/all, https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.sistersandco.com/policies/terms-of-service, https://www.sistersandco.com/pages/buying-online, https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/collections/anine-bing and https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/collections/anine-bing-sale-3 and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.sistersandco.com/en-us/collections/coats took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 198 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token ':'”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    33 of 39 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 436 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 436 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “ANINE BING END OF SEASON SALE | SHOP NOW” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 20 calls to action

    The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “ANINE BING END OF SEASON SALE | SHOP NOW”, “Shop All” and “Shop Now”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 4 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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies, 1 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.

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 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 sistersandco.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
