Speed

9 to fix57
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    850 ms · 823 KiB

    20 images could be 823 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, Shopify and Google Maps and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • hcaptcha.com adds 931 ms

    931 ms

    hcaptcha.com costs a phone 931 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 734 KiB

    About 734 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 205 ms

    205 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 205 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 304 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    218 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (218 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    59 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix62
  • Time to Interactive: 25.5 s

    25.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.6 s

    10.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Your largest element takes 5.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.0 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 452 ms

    452 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 452 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.018, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.9 MB in 346 requests

    4.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 346 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (163), images 1.2 MB (25) and other files 898 KiB (135). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    192 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example BiggieSmallsSummer22_1512x_5a469939-b0b1-416e-80dd-2fa0c8bfd at 1,024 px wide, shown at 175 px. Resized copies would save about 192 KiB.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 167.0 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 load when needed

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8288
  • 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.

  • 18 text elements with low contrast

    18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 12 tap targets too small

    12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names.

    Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names. (1 element).

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8571
  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 101 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 101 pages on sol-baby.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Original kids' clothing inspired by the beaches, surf, and sunshine of Southern California.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://sol-baby.com/.

  • 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://sol-baby.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 (371 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix76
  • 15 pages without a title

    /collections/new-products, /collections/sol-baby-originals-collection, /collections/hats, /collections/baby-bodysuits-collection, /collections/rock-roll-styles and /collections/boys and 9 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /collections/new-products, /collections/sol-baby-originals-collection, /collections/hats, /collections/baby-bodysuits-collection, /collections/rock-roll-styles and /collections/boys and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 17 small tap targets

    17 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Geocoding Service: You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/bi…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 5 links through redirect chains

    5 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://sol-baby.com/account/login.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (sol-baby.com).

  • Valid certificate (43 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for sol-baby.com and is valid for another 43 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://sol-baby.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    sol-baby.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 19 years old

    19 years

    sol-baby.com was registered in Jan 2007 through Register.com - Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    sol-baby.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Jan 2028

    sol-baby.com is registered until Jan 2028.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 552 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 552 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Subscribe”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    sol-baby.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mailgun.org ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag and 1 more (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
