Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
333 KiB3 images could be 333 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 21 ms
21 msShopify 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 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (148 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
130 ms · 50 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 115 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
20 KiBPolyfills 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s
8.1 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.3 s
5.3 sVisually, 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
0.107The 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 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 186 requests
2.9 MBYour 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 KiB1 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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

Tap targets are thumb-sized
34 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Content and conversion
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

13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening 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.
