Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 7.8 s
A phone's processor spends 7.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,383 HTML elements
The page has 4,383 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (getpurpledot.com, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 3.2 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 500 KiB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (500 KiB).
getpurpledot.com adds 678 ms
678 msgetpurpledot.com costs a phone 678 ms of main-thread work and 158 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 613 ms
613 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 613 ms of main-thread work and 563 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.
Shopify adds 276 ms
276 msShopify costs a phone 276 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.
Improve image delivery
275 KiB14 images could be 275 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Klaviyo adds 129 ms
129 msKlaviyo costs a phone 129 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 241 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 8.3 s
8.3 sYour largest element takes 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “TW2Y76800 Peanuts® x Timex T80 Snoopy Ski digital watch wit…”.
Speed Index: 9.0 s
9.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
5 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.2 MB in 541 requests
15.2 MBYour homepage downloads 15.2 MB in 541 requests on a phone: media 8.0 MB (2), images 3.2 MB (107) and scripts 2.5 MB (198). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
15 images far larger than shown
801 KiB15 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example TW2Y99700_M.jpg at 1,000 px wide, shown at 177 px. Resized copies would save about 801 KiB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
14798_TX_TC_26_left_nav_mobile.jpg 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 below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (371 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.31 g of CO₂e: 517.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 149 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Watches from Timex | Digital, Analog, & Water Resistant | Timex EU”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“.logo>img { height: 3rem; width: auto; opacity: 0…” and “Over 170 Years of Crafting the Perfect Gift”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
8 links crawlers can't follow
8 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
201 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 201 pages on timex.eu and 12 external pages.
6 checks passed

AI search readiness

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 (924 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://timex.eu/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://timex.eu/pages/coming-soon has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
