Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and alia-prod.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
1.4 MB11 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 614 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (614 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 459 ms
459 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 459 ms of main-thread work and 528 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.
Shopify adds 270 ms
270 msShopify costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 377 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.
Google CDN adds 129 ms
129 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 129 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
82 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 82 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
34 KiBAbout 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Core Web Vitals
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 CLS: 0.32
0.32For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.32 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.9 s
11.9 sYour largest element takes 11.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Model in Ruffle Backflip One Piece Swimsuit in Sea Urchin &…”.
Time to Interactive: 27.7 s
27.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 27.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.7 s

Total Blocking Time: 860 ms
860 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 860 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 227 ms
227 msReal visitors wait 227 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

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.
12 images without width and height
12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 271 ms to 255 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 259 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 259 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (113), images 1.8 MB (38) and other files 281 KiB (77). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
1d35e09267453ae8162e196a3340613b852b410e-1170x2000.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
5 images far larger than shown
164 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1d35e09267453ae8162e196a3340613b852b410e-1170x2000.jpg at 1,300 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 164 KiB.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.44 g of CO₂e: 173.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
Headings should not be empty (7 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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 (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
136 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 136 pages on summersalt.com and 7 external pages.

AI search readiness

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 (1,032 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.summersalt.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://www.summersalt.com/collections/dresses, https://www.summersalt.com/collections/pajamas and https://www.summersalt.com/collections/outerwear, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.summersalt.com/collections/all-products, https://www.summersalt.com/collections/xs-0-2, https://www.summersalt.com/collections/beach-dresses and https://www.summersalt.com/collections/cover-up-tops-bottoms have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages slow to respond

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected

No form on the homepage

No risk reducer
