Speed
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 281 KiBAbout 281 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 750 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 255 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (255 KiB).
Wistia adds 260 ms
260 msWistia costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 336 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
150 ms · 243 KiB9 images could be 243 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Wistia and Adobe TypeKit), adding 370 KiB and 260 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 15 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s
5.0 sYour largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Custom printing that kicks ass Free worldwide shipping. Fas…”.
Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 115 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Time to Interactive: 7.0 s
7.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 256 ms
256 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 256 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (80 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.2 MB in 57 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 57 requests on a phone: scripts 742 KiB (22), images 382 KiB (23) and HTML 79 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
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
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 30 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 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
83 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 83 pages on stickermule.com and 4 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 160 characters
Your meta description is 160 characters: “Thousands of people trust us to make kick ass stickers, labels, packaging & more. Free proofs, free worldwide shipping,…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Custom printing that kicks ass”.
Title: 45 characters
Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “Sticker Mule | Custom printing that kicks ass”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.stickermule.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://cdn.stickermule.com/core/sitemaps/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (211 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /support, whose canonical is /support/chat. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page with very little text
/support has 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the script 'https://browser.sentry-cdn.com/9.6.1/bundle.min.js' violates the following Content Security Policy …”.
10 distorted images
10 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (stickermule.com).
Valid certificate (21 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert EV RSA CA G2 verifies for stickermule.com and is valid for another 21 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://stickermule.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
stickermule.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
stickermule.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 16 years old
16 yearsstickermule.com was registered in Dec 2009 through 1API GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Dec 2029
stickermule.com is registered until Dec 2029.
Content and conversion
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 197 words
The homepage has only about 197 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop now”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Shop now”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and 10 trust badges.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:sendgrid.net include:customeriomail.com include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
21 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
