Render-blocking requests
1.5 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 51). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.2 s
A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (chatra.io, Klaviyo and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1,005 KiB and 778 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 312 KiBAbout 312 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 465 KiB35 images could be 465 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 101 KiBAbout 101 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
chatra.io adds 444 ms
444 mschatra.io costs a phone 444 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 284 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,432 HTML elements
The page has 2,432 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 180 ms
180 msKlaviyo costs a phone 180 ms of main-thread work and 325 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
150 ms · 50 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (50 KiB).
Minify CSS
150 ms · 21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 420 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 420 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (65), other files 1.1 MB (247) and scripts 1.1 MB (79). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
home-gravel-bikes-1250x520-02262024.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).
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.14 g of CO₂e: 136.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6, h2 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
49 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: 49 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
663 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 663 pages on skirack.com and 3 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.skirack.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 (676 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.skirack.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
7 pages share 2 titles
https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Jackets, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Vests, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Midlayers and https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Fleece all use the title “Shop Men's | Skirack”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
14 pages share a meta description
https://www.skirack.com/collections/supersale, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Jackets, https://www.skirack.com/collections/gear/Backpacks, https://www.skirack.com/collections/alpine-ski/Gloves, https://www.skirack.com/collections/women/Baselayers-and-Underwear and https://www.skirack.com/collections/cycle/Shoes and 8 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
11 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 11 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Jackets, whose canonical is https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/jackets. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
6 pages without an H1
https://www.skirack.com/collections/supersale, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Jackets, https://www.skirack.com/pages/best-price, https://www.skirack.com/pages/category-men, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Midlayers and https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Fleece have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages with very little text
https://www.skirack.com/collections/supersale, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Jackets, https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Midlayers and https://www.skirack.com/collections/men/Fleece have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
About 727 words of copy
The homepage carries about 727 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
