Speed

3 to fix78
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 43 KiB

    About 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Fonts and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 271 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    5 KiB

    1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 62 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix71
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Your largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Birdy Boutique”.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • 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

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    96 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Stripes_Round_Blush.png at 2,407 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 96 KiB.

  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.24 g of CO₂e: 28.4 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: 856 KiB in 38 requests

    856 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 856 KiB in 38 requests on a phone: scripts 387 KiB (23), images 216 KiB (5) and fonts 103 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9194
  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 18 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

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

  • 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • Title is long (75 characters)

    Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Smart Designer Carry-On Luggage for Women | SmartBirdy.com – Birdy Boutique”.

  • Meta description is long (190 characters)

    Your meta description is 190 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 105 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 105 pages on smartbirdy.com and 5 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.smartbirdy.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ClothingStore.

  • 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://www.smartbirdy.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 (733 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.smartbirdy.com/collections/new-arrivals and https://www.smartbirdy.com/collections/shop-all-new have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.smartbirdy.com/collections/shop-all-new/products/essential-black-rose, whose canonical is https://www.smartbirdy.com/products/essential-black-rose. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    36 of 38 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 125 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 572 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 572 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP THE COLLECTION”.

  • 24 calls to action

    The homepage has 24 calls to action, for example “arrow-svg.s0 { fill: #000000 } SHOP”, “Shop All” and “Contact”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 smartbirdy.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 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Assortion · Variant Descriptions King · Pagefly Ai Page Builder · Meety Appointment Booking · Avada Upsell · Variable Products · Hulk Product Options

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
