Speed

4 to fix68
  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

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

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    333 KiB

    3 images could be 333 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Shopify adds 21 ms

    21 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 21 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 148 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (148 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    130 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Yotpo, Shopify and Hexton and others), adding 669 KiB and 105 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    115 KiB

    About 115 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 368 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Your largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 31 images without width and height

    31 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.107

    0.107

    The layout shifts by 0.107 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 186 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 186 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (43), other files 868 KiB (81) and scripts 400 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    73 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example m_hero_slide_2.png at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 73 KiB.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (252 KiB) are 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.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (214 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.83 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.83 g of CO₂e: 99.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

13 to fixGoogle 6783
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 85 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 38 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: 38 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 7772
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (86 characters)

    Your title is 86 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Sister Bracelets Matching Syster Bracelets for the whole family – SISTERSBRACELETS.COM”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 5 links crawlers can't follow

    5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 191 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 191 pages on sistersbracelets.com and 3 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://sistersbracelets.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://sistersbracelets.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

3 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (984 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 13 pages without a meta description

    https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/black-sister-jewelry, https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/coral-sister-jewelry, https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/emerald-sister-jewelry, https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/gold-sister-jewelry, https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/lavender-sister-jewelry and https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/light-blue and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/emerald-sister-jewelry, https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/mint-sister-jewelry and https://sistersbracelets.com/collections/navy-blue-sister-jewelry took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to execute script from 'https://sistersbracelets.com/cdn/shop/t/5/assets/skdslider.scss.css?v=11160318154034397…”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    34 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 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 518 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 518 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Shop Sister Jewelry See More”, “Shop Sister Jewelry "Close Cart"” and “Contact us”.

  • 4 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 sistersbracelets.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.
