Render-blocking requests
1.2 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 43 KiBAbout 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 msWeb 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 KiB1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s
5.9 sYour 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 sThe 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 sVisually, 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 sThe first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
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
1 image far larger than shown
96 KiB1 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 gBy 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 KiBYour 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
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
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
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 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.

Content and conversion
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

6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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

Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
