Render-blocking requests
1.3 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 52 KiBAbout 52 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 93 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, nfcube.com and Google Fonts and others), adding 287 KiB and 45 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
36 KiB6 images could be 36 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
9 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
6 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 456 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.847

Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s
6.2 sYour largest element takes 6.2 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: 6.3 s
6.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.7 s
3.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Total Blocking Time: 21 ms
21 msScripts block the page for only 21 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.49 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.49 g of CO₂e: 58.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 190 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 190 requests on a phone: other files 795 KiB (107), scripts 323 KiB (42) and fonts 309 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
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
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
20 text elements with low contrast
20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (20 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 11 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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 short (58 characters)
Your meta description is only 58 characters: “Firesell is an online marketplace for product you'll love.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
4 links crawlers can't follow
4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
37 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on thefiresell.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 43 characters
Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Firesell | Everyday Items, Wholesale Prices”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thefiresell.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://thefiresell.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.
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 (413 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thefiresell.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
https://thefiresell.com/collections/all-products, https://thefiresell.com/collections/drinkware, https://thefiresell.com/collections/featured-products, https://thefiresell.com/collections/home-decor, https://thefiresell.com/collections/kitchen and https://thefiresell.com/collections/new-products and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://thefiresell.com/collections/featured-products/products/black-floral-pedals-with-clear-cacking-yeti-rmblr-2030-1429193971, whose canonical is https://thefiresell.com/products/black-floral-pedals-with-clear-cacking-yeti-rmblr-2030-1429193971. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
8 pages without an H1
https://thefiresell.com/collections/all-products, https://thefiresell.com/collections/drinkware, https://thefiresell.com/collections/featured-products, https://thefiresell.com/collections/home-decor, https://thefiresell.com/collections/kitchen and https://thefiresell.com/collections/new-products and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
8 small tap targets
8 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 distorted images
2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed

Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 196 words
The homepage has only about 196 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
