Speed

6 to fix67
  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 s · 1.5 MB

    26 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • 3,962 HTML elements

    The page has 3,962 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Google CDN and others), adding 3.2 MB and 249 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 170 ms

    170 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 2.9 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    25 KiB

    About 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    22 KiB

    About 22 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 692 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 22 ms

    22 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 22 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    Your largest element takes 13.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 527 ms

    527 ms

    Real visitors wait 527 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% faster for real visitors

    -20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix25
  • Page weight: 5.4 MB in 338 requests

    5.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 338 requests on a phone: images 3.1 MB (38), other files 1.0 MB (120) and scripts 847 KiB (138). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Technotape_Logo_Large_SVG.svg weighs 935 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (1.2 MB) 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Fall_2026_Must_Haves_Puzzles_Games.webp 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).

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    394 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example fall_2026_homepage_banner_zoomed_out.webp at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 394 KiB.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.52 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.52 g of CO₂e: 182.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (16 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Make fall warm and personal”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 91 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 91 pages on technotape.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Technotape provides professional-grade sublimation products at wholesale rates. Get blanks, printers, ink, and more. ✓ …”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Technotape | Wholesale Sublimation Products for Businesses”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.technotape.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebSite and WholesaleStore.

  • 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.technotape.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (766 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

5 to fix76
  • 2 pages share a title

    /collections/fall and /collections/sublimation-blanks-fall all use the title “Sublimation Blanks for Fall | Technotape”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /apps/swishlist has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    /collections/fall and /collections/sublimation-blanks-fall use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/sublimation-blanks-fall, whose canonical is /collections/fall. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    /collections/all, /apps/swishlist, /collections/fall, /collections/sublimation-blanks-fall, /collections/sublimation-mugs and /collections/sublimation-drinkware have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 8 pages with very little text

    /collections/all, /collections/fall, /collections/sublimation-pillows-blankets, /collections/sublimation-blanks-fall, /collections/sublimation-mugs and /collections/sublimation-photo-tiles-slates and 2 others have 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 56 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    45 of 52 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (technotape.com).

  • Valid certificate (79 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for technotape.com and is valid for another 79 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://technotape.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    technotape.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    technotape.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    technotape.com was registered in Mar 1998 through Key-Systems GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    technotape.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix89
  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 748 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 748 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “Shop the Fall collection”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Log in or register” and “Register”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 1 trust badge.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

2 to fix65
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be technotape.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 65/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:31.160.96.233/29 a:utm02.technotape.com include:_spf_eucentral1.prod.hydra.sophos.com include:spf.protection…”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, 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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 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.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 12 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
