Speed
Improve image delivery
5.3 s · 1.8 MB42 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 732 KiBAbout 732 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 1.3 s
1.3 sShopify costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 1.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.1 s
A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 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 (Shopify, Optanon and squarecdn.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 850 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
637 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (637 KiB).
1,806 HTML elements
The page has 1,806 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 237 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 43 KiBAbout 43 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.
Legacy JavaScript
37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.2 MB in 156 requests
5.2 MBYour homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 156 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (57), scripts 1.6 MB (48) and media 520 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
18 images below the first screen load straight away
18 images further down the page (934 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
62 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1787053830-hp_families_sway.jpg at 600 px wide, shown at 142 px. Resized copies would save about 62 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (115 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.48 g of CO₂e: 177.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 66 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 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: 45 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Strathberry | Our homepage”, “Introducing the Nest” and “New Arrivals”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
76 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 76 pages on strathberry.com and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 148 characters
Your meta description is 148 characters: “Shop the Strathberry collection. Discover luxury handbags, leather tote bags and designer purses. Designed in Scotland,…”.
Title: 38 characters
Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “Luxury designer handbags | Strathberry”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.strathberry.com/.
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.strathberry.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://www.strathberry.com/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.
2 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 (324 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.strathberry.com/change-locale has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.strathberry.com/change-locale, https://www.strathberry.com/order-status and https://www.strathberry.com/a/return have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.strathberry.com/pages/product-warranty and https://www.strathberry.com/pages/newsletter use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.strathberry.com/pages/product-warranty and https://www.strathberry.com/pages/newsletter have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.strathberry.com/change-locale 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 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
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.
About 447 words of copy
The homepage carries about 447 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
