solebicycles.com website review

About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

Signyfyd costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 279 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 4,060 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and YouTube and others), adding 2.6 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 643 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 265 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.

YouTube costs a phone 394 ms of main-thread work and 1,021 KiB 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.

10 images could be 461 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 404 ms of main-thread work and 522 KiB 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.

21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (291 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

The first text or image appears after 8.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 29.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 8.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FEATURED BICYCLES”.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 160 ms to 183 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 301 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (116), other files 782 KiB (116) and images 708 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.37 g of CO₂e: 164.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Solé Bicycles 🚲 Single Speed & Fixed Gear Bikes | $399 Bikes for Sale”.

Your meta description is 183 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 690 pages on solebicycles.com and 27 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://www.solebicycles.com/.sole-protection-learn-modal declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and https://www.solebicycles.com/.sole-protection-learn-modal all use the title “Solé Bicycles 🚲 Single Speed & Fixed Gear Bikes | $399 Bikes for Sale”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.solebicycles.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/all-bikes, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/single-speed, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/gift-cards, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/multi-speed and https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/all-terrain-bikes have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.solebicycles.com/products/the-coastal-cruiser and https://www.solebicycles.com/products/the-step-through-coastal-cruiser use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/all-bikes, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/single-speed, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/gift-cards, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/on-sale, https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/multi-speed and https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/all-terrain-bikes have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.solebicycles.com/products/the-three-speed-dutch-step-through, https://www.solebicycles.com/products/the-three-speed-city-cruiser and https://www.solebicycles.com/collections/all-terrain-bikes took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 84 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
