Speed

1 to fix99
  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 87 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    26 KiB

    About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (fastsimon.com, Shopify and weglot.com), adding 102 KiB and 6 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 99

    99/100

    Your mobile performance score is 99. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 304 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 936 ms

    936 ms

    Real visitors wait 936 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Time to Interactive: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.6 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.3 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Opening soon”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 15 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.29 g of CO₂e: 34.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.0 MB in 108 requests

    1.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.0 MB in 108 requests on a phone: other files 760 KiB (86), scripts 168 KiB (12) and fonts 47 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9697
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

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

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

1 checks passed
  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9270
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Steve Madden Morocco”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://stevemadden.ma/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 2 internal links

    The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

3 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Steve Madden Morocco”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://stevemadden.ma/password.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://stevemadden.ma/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

1 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “$ is not defined”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix36
  • No call to action on the first screen

    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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 33 words

    The homepage has only about 33 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 2 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 stevemadden.ma, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
