Speed

10 to fix45
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 1.1 MB

    About 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

    45/100

    Your 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 MB

    11 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    18 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 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (614 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 459 ms

    459 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Shopify 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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 82 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    34 KiB

    About 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • 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

    0.32

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.32 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.9 s

    11.9 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 860 ms

    860 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 860 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 227 ms

    227 ms

    Real 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

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The 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).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB in 259 requests

    5.1 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    5 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 g

    By 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

6 to fixGoogle 9892
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9283
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “Flattering swimwear designed to fit you, not the other way around. Discover your sustainable swimwear soulmate now from…”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Summersalt | Designer Swimwear Without the Designer Price”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.summersalt.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.summersalt.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • 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

2 to fix70
  • 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

    https://www.summersalt.com/collections/cover-ups, https://www.summersalt.com/collections/beach-dresses, https://www.summersalt.com/collections/cover-up-tops-bottoms and https://www.summersalt.com/collections/all-clothing took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 72 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 14 small tap targets

    14 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • 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 analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • About 784 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 784 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “50% Off The Sidestroke | SHOP NOW” and “50% Off The Ruffle Backflip | SHOP NOW”.

  • 33 calls to action

    The homepage has 33 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop by Size” and “Shop Now”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Usercentrics

    A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.
