Speed

2 to fix94
  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    270 KiB

    1 image could be 270 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    39 KiB

    About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 68 KiB and 17 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    3 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 94

    94/100

    Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 256 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

2 to fix99
  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “The Becoming”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.9 s.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 169 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 169 requests on a phone: media 941 KiB (1), other files 771 KiB (93) and images 497 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    315 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example becoming-4x5.png at 2,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 315 KiB.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 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.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9499
  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “Julia Monard”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 22 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 22 pages on thiswildfae.com and 2 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “The Becoming by Julia Monard is a poetic journey through alchemy, grief, healing, and self-transformation. For those in…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Becoming”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://monardjulia.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://monardjulia.com/pages/about-the-book, https://monardjulia.com/pages/the-author, https://monardjulia.com/pages/the-launch, https://monardjulia.com/pages/stockists, https://monardjulia.com/pages/contact and https://monardjulia.com/pages/you-said and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://monardjulia.com/pages/contact and https://monardjulia.com/collections/all have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was 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

    9 of 9 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Only about 63 words

    The homepage has only about 63 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “The Book” and “Contact”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 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 Meta Pixel (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 thiswildfae.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
