Speed
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 55 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (55 KiB).
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Trust Pilot, jQuery CDN and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 364 KiB and 77 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
59 KiB9 images could be 59 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
19 KiBAbout 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
c212c96f_mid-season_sale_shop_now.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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (44 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.17 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.17 g of CO₂e: 20.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 606 KiB in 52 requests
606 KiBYour homepage downloads 606 KiB in 52 requests on a phone: scripts 248 KiB (10), images 219 KiB (23) and HTML 60 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
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
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 1 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Structured data has 8 problems
Structured data found (Product) but with 8 problems, for example “Product: url is not an absolute URL ("https://www.skopes.co.uk/mm3312-sinatra-sb-tailored-dinner-suit-jacket-black")”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
174 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 174 pages on skopes.co.uk and 14 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 148 characters
Your meta description is 148 characters: “Shop our menswear range including men’s suits, shirts, trousers, coats and accessories. Free Delivery over £99 & Free R…”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Men's Suits, Shirts, Blazers & Accessories | Skopes Menswear”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.skopes.co.uk/.
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.skopes.co.uk/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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.skopes.co.uk/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (785 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.skopes.co.uk/saved-items has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
14 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

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.
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 499 words of copy
The homepage carries about 499 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Shop Big & Tall” and “Subscribe”.

Privacy and tracking
7 cookies set on arrival

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.

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