Speed

14 to fix13
  • 17,831 HTML elements

    The page has 17,831 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 13.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 13.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 13

    13/100

    Your mobile performance score is 13. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 2.6 MB

    32 images could be 2.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (negate.io, Google Tag Manager and ZenDesk and others), adding 2.6 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • negate.io adds 813 ms

    813 ms

    negate.io costs a phone 813 ms of main-thread work and 40 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 646 ms

    646 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 646 ms of main-thread work and 543 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 · 370 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (370 KiB).

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 435 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • ZenDesk adds 275 ms

    275 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 479 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 140 ms

    140 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 140 ms of main-thread work and 772 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 123 ms

    123 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 123 ms of main-thread work and 348 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 CSS

    150 ms · 80 KiB

    About 80 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    98 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 98 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 24 ms

    24 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.2 s

    14.2 s

    Your largest element takes 14.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “slider-1”.

  • Speed Index: 16.3 s

    16.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 45.2 s

    45.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 45.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.565

    0.565

    The layout shifts by 0.565 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 204 ms

    204 ms

    Real visitors wait 204 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

    8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 175 ms to 158 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 690 ms

    690 ms

    Real visitors wait 690 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 23% faster for real visitors

    -23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 15.2 MB in 602 requests

    15.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 15.2 MB in 602 requests on a phone: images 9.7 MB (156), scripts 3.3 MB (203) and other files 1.4 MB (166). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    soundpath_spk_level_subwoofer_adapter_1_1.jpg weighs 1.1 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 14 images far larger than shown

    722 KiB

    14 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example sb-2000-pro-ba.png at 974 px wide, shown at 290 px. Resized copies would save about 722 KiB.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Mobile-eisa-26.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).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (236 KiB) are 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 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.31 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.31 g of CO₂e: 517.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 7387
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (4 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (4 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Hidden but focusable

    28 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 20 form fields without a label

    20 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 110 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 10 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8595
  • 103 links with vague text

    103 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 613 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 613 pages on svsound.com and 0 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 144 characters

    Your meta description is 144 characters: “SVS builds speakers, subwoofers and audio accessories for music and home theater surround sound systems. Proudly engine…”.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.svsound.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (5,648 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.svsound.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://www.svsound.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.svsound.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.svsound.com/collections/all and https://www.svsound.com/customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.svsound.com/collections/all, https://www.svsound.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.svsound.com/collections/black-friday-sale, https://www.svsound.com/pages/financing, https://www.svsound.com/pages/us-dealers and https://www.svsound.com/pages/international-dealers and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://www.svsound.com/products/pb-1000-pro-subwoofer, https://www.svsound.com/collections/2000-pro-series, https://www.svsound.com/products/pb-2000-pro and https://www.svsound.com/products/pc-2000-pro took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 31 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 31 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 svsound.com, 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 14 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
