Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
4,976 HTML elements
The page has 4,976 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 261 KiBAbout 261 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 191 ms
191 msShopify costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 646 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 871 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and cloudfront.net and others), adding 901 KiB and 260 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 34 KiBAbout 34 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 111 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
94 KiB2 images could be 94 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (50 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 238 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 238 requests on a phone: other files 999 KiB (123), scripts 859 KiB (71) and images 716 KiB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (7 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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).
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “SONOFF - Your Smart Home Automation Choice | SONOFF Official Store”.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://sonoff.tech/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at sonoff.tech/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “SONOFF offers smart home products including switches, sensors, and plugs. Compatible with Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Matter for…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://sonoff.tech/en-us.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://sonoff.tech/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
Best practices
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
23 of 24 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 15 words
The homepage has only about 15 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies, 7 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.
7 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 sonoff.tech, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
