3,211 HTML elements
The page has 3,211 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 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.
Document request latency
375 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce unused JavaScript
370 KiBAbout 370 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 648 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 100 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, cdn-apple.com and Bing Ads and others), adding 144 KiB and 82 ms of main-thread time.
Minify JavaScript
60 KiB60 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
27 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).
Improve image delivery
27 KiB3 images could be 27 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify CSS
25 KiB25 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 96 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 96 requests on a phone: images 661 KiB (44), HTML 564 KiB (1) and fonts 440 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
_C649931474894718125.webp 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
5 buttons without a name
5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
13 tap targets too small
13 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.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
22 images without alt text
22 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (67 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 67 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
42 links without text
42 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 9 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (79 characters)
Your title is 79 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Boots, Performance, Sneakers, Clogs & More for Women, Men, & Kids | SoftMoc.com”.
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.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag

Content and conversion
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 30 customer or partner logos. 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 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.
About 1,821 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,821 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

23 cookies set on arrival
23Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
