Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
280 ms · 964 KiBAbout 964 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, heatmap.com and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 1.9 MB and 812 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 83
83/100Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 320 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (320 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 327 ms
327 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 675 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.
Improve image delivery
318 KiB8 images could be 318 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
rebuyengine.com adds 119 ms
119 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 119 ms of main-thread work and 648 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 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.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 19.1 s
19.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.6 s
9.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 279 ms
279 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 279 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sYour largest element renders in 2.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “For only $13.95 per month, our cleanup crew will remove one…”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.036
0.036The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.036, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 380 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 380 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (98), other files 1.3 MB (245) and images 594 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
28 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example OpalFishOnHookNecklace_1.0_SandShell_400x400.jpg at 400 px wide, shown at 90 px. Resized copies would save about 28 KiB.
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: 148.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

Every image has alt text
All 26 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 2 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.
Meta description is long (294 characters)
Your meta description is 294 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
34 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 34 pages on sunsetboutique.com and 6 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Sunset Boutique”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Sunset Boutique: Beach Themed Gifts, Jewelry and Accessories”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.sunsetboutique.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.sunsetboutique.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.
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 (359 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
/collections/now-trending, /pages/contact, /collections/anklets, /collections/bracelets, /collections/neckalces and /collections/rings and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
8 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 8 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/now-trending/products/dainty_opal_sea_turtle_stud_earrings, whose canonical is /products/dainty_opal_sea_turtle_stud_earrings. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
/pages/contact and /pages/mission have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/pages/contact 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 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
