Speed

3 to fix90
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (heatmap.com, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 514 KiB and 515 ms of main-thread time.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • heatmap.com adds 270 ms

    270 ms

    heatmap.com costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 94 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

    160 KiB

    About 160 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    60 KiB

    3 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    29 KiB

    About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    16 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 90

    90/100

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

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix98
  • Speed Index: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

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

  • Time to Interactive: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.2 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “We Increase Average Order Value Conversion Rates Revenue Pe…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 21 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 327 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 327 requests on a phone: other files 1.3 MB (258), scripts 622 KiB (41) and images 179 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.63 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10095
  • No social preview image

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

  • 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.

7 checks passed

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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

    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 (536 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://storetester.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

1 to fix

    4

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 26 other companies contacted

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 storetester.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
