Speed

4 to fix72
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    910 ms · 183 KiB

    About 183 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 910 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • chatwith.tools adds 392 ms

    392 ms

    chatwith.tools costs a phone 392 ms of main-thread work and 698 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

    300 ms · 49 KiB

    About 49 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (chatwith.tools, Shopify and Cloudflare and others), adding 808 KiB and 431 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 156 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    100 ms · 32 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 12 KiB

    2 images could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 666 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    Your largest element takes 9.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We Build Websites Fast Get your store setup and start makin…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 14 images without width and height

    14 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 69 ms

    69 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 69 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 231 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 231 requests on a phone: other files 828 KiB (112), scripts 826 KiB (78) and images 378 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.62 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.7 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

2 to fixGoogle 9096
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 2 images without alt text

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

1 checks passed
  • 47 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: 47 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“We Build Websites Fast” and “Unlock the Secrets to more Sales”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (241 characters)

    Your meta description is 241 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 24 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on themefast.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “ThemeFast - Shopify Experts | User Friendly Websites”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://themefast.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://themefast.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 (290 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://themefast.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://themefast.com/pages/shopify-apps, https://themefast.com/collections/services, https://themefast.com/pages/contact-us, https://themefast.com/pages/indigo-marsh-mercantile, https://themefast.com/pages/pro-golf-source and https://themefast.com/pages/my-resolution-lab and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://themefast.com/pages/indigo-marsh-mercantile, https://themefast.com/pages/pro-golf-source, https://themefast.com/pages/my-resolution-lab, https://themefast.com/pages/teeopia, https://themefast.com/pages/galaxy-iced-tea-and-coffee and https://themefast.com/pages/ashley-susan-photography have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 6 pages with very little text

    https://themefast.com/collections/shopify-themes, https://themefast.com/pages/contact-us, https://themefast.com/pages/pro-golf-source, https://themefast.com/pages/my-resolution-lab, https://themefast.com/pages/teeopia and https://themefast.com/pages/galaxy-iced-tea-and-coffee 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.

  • 13 internal pages checked

    We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 13 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 34 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 328 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 328 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GET A FREE QUOTE”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get a Free Quote” and “Get A Free Quote”.

  • 2 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 themefast.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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
