Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 566 KiBAbout 566 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.
3,400 HTML elements
The page has 3,400 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.0 MB and 778 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
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.
Shopify adds 245 ms
245 msShopify costs a phone 245 ms of main-thread work and 621 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 Tag Manager adds 182 ms
182 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 182 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.
Klaviyo adds 129 ms
129 msKlaviyo costs a phone 129 ms of main-thread work and 416 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 122 ms
122 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 115 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (115 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 55 KiBAbout 55 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.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 98 KiB5 images could be 98 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.038
0.038The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.038, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 460 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 460 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (187), other files 1.3 MB (201) and images 577 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Atomic_Banner_-_New_e2ecb17a-c1bd-40b0-982e-5ec01c6e3a21.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).
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 148.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
30 links without text
30 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 5 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
447 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 447 pages on sundanceskishop.com and 10 external pages.

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://sundanceskishop.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://sundanceskishop.com/en-us/collections/all-mountain and https://sundanceskishop.com/en-us/pages/ski-brands have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
