Speed

5 to fix37
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    4.8 s

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 4.8 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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.

  • Server response: 24 ms

    24 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.8 s

    11.8 s

  • Time to Interactive: 24.0 s

    24.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 912 ms

    912 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 912 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

7 checks passed

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

  • Real-user INP: 137 ms

    137 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 490 ms

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.8 MB in 494 requests

    5.8 MB

    Your 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

    1 image (47 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

    1.66 g

    By 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.

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

12 to fixGoogle 8184
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (30 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 18 buttons without a name

    18 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

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

  • 127 form fields without a label

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    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.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 21 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (12 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 42 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: 42 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9280
  • 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

    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://spelldesigns.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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

1 to fix95
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 68 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 120 small tap targets

    120 of 155 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Not found product id”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix80
  • 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

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 581 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 581 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “DISCOVER GOLDEN ~ SHOP THE COLLECTION” and “Shop”.

  • 25 calls to action

    The homepage has 25 calls to action, for example “DISCOVER GOLDEN ~ SHOP THE COLLECTION”, “Shop” and “Shop By”.

  • 17 short forms

    17 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 5 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 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 spelldesigns.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
