Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 351 KiBAbout 351 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 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 Clarity and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 308 KiB9 images could be 308 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 463 ms
463 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 463 ms of main-thread work and 322 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Shopify adds 290 ms
290 msShopify costs a phone 290 ms of main-thread work and 308 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 310 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
254 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (254 KiB).
1,700 HTML elements
The page has 1,700 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 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.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 221 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 221 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (81), images 857 KiB (24) and other files 695 KiB (99). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (151 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 102.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (6 characters)
Your title is only 6 characters: “icon-X”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
262 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 262 pages on surfari.ch and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Surfari Surf Shop”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://surfari.ch/.
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://surfari.ch/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 (818 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://surfari.ch/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://surfari.ch/pages/retouren, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
15 pages share a title
/, https://surfari.ch/collections/boards, https://surfari.ch/collections/wellenreitboards, https://surfari.ch/collections/poolboards, https://surfari.ch/collections/bodyboards and https://surfari.ch/collections/surfboard-sale and 9 others all use the title “icon-X”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
14 pages without a meta description
https://surfari.ch/collections/boards, https://surfari.ch/collections/wellenreitboards, https://surfari.ch/collections/poolboards, https://surfari.ch/collections/bodyboards, https://surfari.ch/collections/surfboard-sale and https://surfari.ch/collections/custom-order-surfboard and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://surfari.ch/collections/custom-order-surfboard has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages slow to respond
https://surfari.ch/collections/boards, https://surfari.ch/collections/wellenreitboards and https://surfari.ch/collections/bodyboards took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.
32 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 32 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 surfari.ch, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Bta Booking App · Pushowl · Cartbite · Upcart · digitaloceanspaces.com · bookthatapp.com
