Speed
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.6 s
A phone's processor spends 7.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 563 ms
563 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 563 ms of main-thread work and 540 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.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 108 KiB4 images could be 108 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 472 ms
472 msShopify costs a phone 472 ms of main-thread work and 883 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
559 KiBAbout 559 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 289 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,217 HTML elements
The page has 2,217 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
110 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (110 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 361 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 361 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (190), images 1.4 MB (22) and other files 931 KiB (118). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (805 KiB) are 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (789 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
37 links without text
37 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 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: 51 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (313 characters)
Your meta description is 313 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
167 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 167 pages on stegmannusa.com and 5 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Stegmann Clogs”.
Title: 58 characters

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.stegmannusa.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.
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 (922 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.stegmannusa.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.stegmannusa.com/collections/womens-shoes, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.stegmannusa.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://www.stegmannusa.com/pages/quiz have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.stegmannusa.com/pages/quiz and https://www.stegmannusa.com/pages/best-clogs-for-pain-relief have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 158 words
The homepage has only about 158 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

14 calls to action

18Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
