Speed
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 MB12 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
890 KiBAbout 890 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 750 ms.
Klaviyo adds 377 ms
377 msKlaviyo 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 msmarsello.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 KiBAbout 158 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
101 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (101 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 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.

Core Web Vitals
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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 358 ms
358 msReal 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

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 sYour 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
0.01The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 370 requests
5.9 MBYour 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 KiB9 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 gBy 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
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
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.

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
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
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.

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.
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

Privacy and tracking

24 cookies set on arrival
24Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.
