Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 506 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (506 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, loox.io and Shopify and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 442 ms
442 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 442 ms of main-thread work and 645 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.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 69 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 69 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 133 ms
133 msShopify costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 483 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
150 ms · 81 KiB4 images could be 81 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
39 KiBAbout 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 369 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 369 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (112), other files 1.3 MB (225) and images 162 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (293 characters)
Your meta description is 293 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
52 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 52 pages on thecloudies.com and 11 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 44 characters
Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “The Cloudies™ - Foot Comfort Starts Now ☁️❤️”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thecloudies.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.
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://thecloudies.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://thecloudies.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (386 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
https://thecloudies.com/collections/bogo, https://thecloudies.com/collections/shop-cloudies, https://thecloudies.com/apps/wonderment/tracking, https://thecloudies.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://thecloudies.com/pages/faq have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://thecloudies.com/apps/wonderment/tracking, whose canonical is https://thecloudies.com/pages/tracking. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
6 pages without an H1
https://thecloudies.com/collections/bogo, https://thecloudies.com/collections/shop-cloudies, https://thecloudies.com/apps/wonderment/tracking, https://thecloudies.com/pages/faq, https://thecloudies.com/pages/contact and https://thecloudies.com/pages/about-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 small tap targets

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.”).
1 third-party cookie

Browser-reported issues

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: “Over 145.726+ Happy Customers”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details

About 320 words of copy
The homepage carries about 320 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

12Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 7 mores (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.
33 cookies set on arrival
33Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

56 other companies contacted

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 thecloudies.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 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
