Speed

9 to fix70
  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 764 KiB

    12 images could be 764 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.1 MB and 854 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 416 ms

    416 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 416 ms of main-thread work and 494 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

    424 KiB

    About 424 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    266 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (266 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,624 HTML elements

    The page has 1,624 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 169 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Total Blocking Time: 518 ms

    518 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 518 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 92 ms to 115 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 120 ms

    120 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 733 ms

    733 ms

    Real visitors wait 733 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 211 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 211 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (24), scripts 1.3 MB (68) and other files 680 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.26 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 150.7 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

3 to fixGoogle 9095
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 8 links without text

    8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 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. 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 8589
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Smells Like Summer” and “Regulated Shipping”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 71 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 71 pages on sunbum.com.au and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

    Your meta description is 133 characters: “We’re just a group of friends that make trusted products for our small beach community, and we hope you like ‘em too. T…”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Official Sun Bum® Australia Website – Sun Bum Australia”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sunbum.com.au/.

  • 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.sunbum.com.au/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 (432 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

100

Best practices

5 to fixGoogle 7369
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=27023774&Ver=2&mid=beb7a84b-4072-4fd3-b351-0a6a8a458881&bo=4&sid=f1b1f190db1911f1a6b8c7a37c8ebd4f&vid=f1b22a10db1911f18975478233ccef6a&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.

  • 8 small tap targets

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

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“`<source src>` with a `<picture>` parent is invalid and therefore ignored. Please use `<source srcs…”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 4 distorted images

    4 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 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 448 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 448 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Sunscreen”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop All Sun Care” and “Shop All Hair Care”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 sunbum.com.au, 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
