stevemadden.com.ec website review

23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 139 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 355 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 MB 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 396 ms of main-thread work and 527 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.

30 images could be 419 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (326 KiB).

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 319 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 2,296 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “nueva-coleccion-steve-madden_noviembr_2026-mobile.jpg”.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 170 ms to 252 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 404 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.112 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 357 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (76), other files 1.1 MB (173) and images 1.0 MB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.40 g of CO₂e: 168.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings should not be empty: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

The homepage links to 90 pages on stevemadden.com.ec and 4 external pages.

https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/all, https://stevemadden.com.ec/policies/shipping-policy and https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/madden-girl have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/all, https://stevemadden.com.ec/policies/shipping-policy, https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/super-black-sale-2x, https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/madden-girl, https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/nueva-coleccion-mujer and https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/novias and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/nueva-coleccion-mujer, https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/novias, https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/botas-y-botines-para-mujer-steve-madden and https://stevemadden.com.ec/collections/carteras-y-bolsos-para-mujer-steve-madden 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

The homepage has only about 127 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity and 1 more (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.

Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 51 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
