Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s25 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.1 s
A phone's processor spends 8.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,599 HTML elements
The page has 4,599 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 613 ms
613 msShopify costs a phone 613 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 343 KiBAbout 343 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 481 ms
481 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 481 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 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.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 326 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
smile.io adds 133 ms
133 mssmile.io costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 454 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
200 ms · 75 KiB75 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 79 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (79 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
19 KiB2 images could be 19 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 279 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 279 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (61), scripts 1.1 MB (95) and other files 731 KiB (77). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
mainbanner_pixel11_series_mobile.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (99 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 125.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (89 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 89 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 241 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Welcome to Spigen!” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,510 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/pages/iphone-duo has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
/collections/classic-ls-collection, /pages/iphone-duo, /collections/iphone-duo-cases, /collections/iphone-18-pro-max-cases, /collections/iphone-18-pro-cases and /collections/iphone-air-case-collection have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

3 checks passed
Domain is 21 years old
21 yearsspigen.com was registered in Oct 2005 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Oct 2028
spigen.com is registered until Oct 2028.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
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.

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be spigen.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:13.124.111.122 include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:spf.zohomail.com include:zcsend.net …”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
