Speed

10 to fix74
  • 3,625 HTML elements

    The page has 3,625 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 1.4 MB

    29 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 84 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (84 KiB).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    500 ms · 39 KiB

    39 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Klaviyo and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.0 MB and 408 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    362 KiB

    About 362 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 761 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 168 ms

    168 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 168 ms of main-thread work and 486 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Reduce unused CSS

    49 KiB

    About 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    48 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 17.0 s

    17.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

  • Speed Index: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 23 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 158 ms to 155 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user INP: 175 ms

    175 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 347 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 68% faster for real visitors

    -68%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.8 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 53 ms

    53 ms

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.9 MB in 292 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 292 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (71), scripts 1.0 MB (90) and other files 681 KiB (73). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (30 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.67 g of CO₂e: 200.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 24 links without text

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    20 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095

    Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

7 checks passed

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,959 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 10 pages without an H1

    https://solebliss.com/collections/new-arrivals, https://solebliss.com/collections/all, https://solebliss.com/pages/contact-us, https://solebliss.com/collections/trainers, https://solebliss.com/collections/flats and https://solebliss.com/collections/heels and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    69 of 86 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 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 solebliss.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
