Speed

8 to fix60
  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    630 ms · 255 KiB

    About 255 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 630 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and config-security.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 378 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 144 KiB

    4 images could be 144 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 214 ms

    214 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 214 ms of main-thread work and 659 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 163 ms

    163 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.

  • 1,520 HTML elements

    The page has 1,520 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    80 ms · 26 KiB

    About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 80 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    15 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 3.6 MB in 392 requests

    3.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 392 requests on a phone: other files 1.6 MB (270), scripts 986 KiB (85) and images 669 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.02 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8581
  • Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)

    Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • 8 tap targets too small

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

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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
  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (170 characters)

    Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 55 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 55 pages on skiguards.com and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “SkiGuards.com”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “SkiGuards™ – Shin Protection Built for Ski Boots”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://skiguards.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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://skiguards.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://skiguards.com/collections/all-products, https://skiguards.com/pages/contact and https://skiguards.com/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://skiguards.com/collections/all-products, https://skiguards.com/apps/track123 and https://skiguards.com/collections/all have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • 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: 28 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.

  • Only about 10 words

    The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Track your order”, “Contact” and “Start shopping”.

  • 11 short forms

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 skiguards.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
