Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 65). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.3 s
A phone's processor spends 9.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 606 KiBAbout 606 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 327 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (addons.business, config-security.com and Shopify and others), adding 263 KiB and 77 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 65 but mobile only 37. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 494 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 494 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (281), images 2.2 MB (59) and other files 967 KiB (129). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats

About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.66 g of CO₂e: 198.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to aus.spell.co, not spelldesigns.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
169 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 169 pages on spelldesigns.com and 17 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Elevated Boho Clothing, Designed in Byron Bay – SPELL”.
Open Graph tags complete

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://spelldesigns.com/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 (1,302 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 pages without a meta description
/pages/returns and /collections/gift-cards have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No risk reducer
