Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 449 KiBAbout 449 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.5 s · 376 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (376 KiB).
Main-thread work: 4.1 s
A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s 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, alia-prod.com and loox.io and others), adding 1.0 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 833 ms
833 msShopify costs a phone 833 ms of main-thread work and 411 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.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 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.
2,611 HTML elements
The page has 2,611 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
9 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 303 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 303 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (90), other files 849 KiB (126) and images 373 KiB (74). 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: 97.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
82 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 58 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Spark Paws: Hundebekleidung, Zubehör, Geschirre & mehr – SPARK PAWS”.
Meta description is long (186 characters)
Your meta description is 186 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
135 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 135 pages on sparkpaws.ch and 14 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.sparkpaws.ch/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.
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://www.sparkpaws.ch/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (843 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.sparkpaws.ch/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
9 pages without a meta description
https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/summer-23, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/shop-all-2, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-rainncoat, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-coats-jackets, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-pajama-onesies and https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-tee-shirt and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/comfort-control-no-pull-dog-harness/Comfort-Control+Grab-&-Go+Aerothin, whose canonical is https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/comfort-control-no-pull-dog-harness. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
12 pages without an H1
https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/summer-23, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/shop-all-2, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-sweaters-hoodies, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-coats-jackets, https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-pajama-onesies and https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/matching-human-and-dog-clothes and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-hats-accessories and https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/dog-tee-shirt have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
2 pages slow to respond
https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/comfort-control-no-pull-dog-harness/Comfort-Control+Grab-&-Go+Aerothin and https://www.sparkpaws.ch/collections/tactical-dog-collars/Tactical-Collar+Martingale-Collar-and-Sets took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

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 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 217 words
The homepage has only about 217 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
4 checks passed
11 calls to action
