Speed

11 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.6 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 509 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (509 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 1.0 MB

    13 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Yotpo and cloudfront.net and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 189 KiB

    About 189 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 492 ms

    492 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 492 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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

    550 ms

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

  • 1,972 HTML elements

    The page has 1,972 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • cloudfront.net adds 134 ms

    134 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 390 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    180 ms · 13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    Your largest element takes 16.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 29.5 s

    29.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 29.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 376 ms

    376 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 376 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 95 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 116 ms

    116 ms

    Real visitors wait 116 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 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: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 281 ms

    281 ms

    Real visitors wait 281 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 7.3 MB in 273 requests

    7.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.3 MB in 273 requests on a phone: images 3.3 MB (56), scripts 2.4 MB (88) and other files 1.1 MB (99). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (820 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.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (431 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.06 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.06 g of CO₂e: 247.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8292
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 24 images without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • 12 links without text

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

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 4 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.

  • Meta description is long (239 characters)

    Your meta description is 239 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 238 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 238 pages on tannens.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Tannen's”.

  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “Tannen's Magic | America's Oldest Magic Shop”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.tannens.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.tannens.com/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 (1,339 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://www.tannens.com/collections/magic-tricks, https://www.tannens.com/collections/new-arrivals, https://www.tannens.com/collections/tannens-tricks, https://www.tannens.com/collections/classics, https://www.tannens.com/collections/downloads-1 and https://www.tannens.com/collections/henry-harrius-rubiks-cube-magic and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 120 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 7383
  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 47 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 (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • 3 distorted images

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 530 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 530 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “MOTHER OF ALL BOOK TESTS (POCKET) $199” and “SHOP ALL NEW ARRIVALS”.

  • 25 calls to action

    The homepage has 25 calls to action, for example “Shop all Close-Up Magic →”, “Shop all Stage Magic →” and “Book Club”.

  • 9 short forms

    9 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 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.

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 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 tannens.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 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
