Speed

7 to fix36
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6.5 s · 2.9 MB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.9 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    3.5 s · 3.2 MB

    6 images could be 3.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 502 KiB

    About 502 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 36

    36/100

    Your mobile performance score is 36 (desktop: 32). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Maps and Facebook and others), adding 1.1 MB and 738 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 403 ms

    403 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 403 ms of main-thread work and 504 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 Maps adds 161 ms

    161 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    14 KiB

    About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 747 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.7 s

    23.7 s

    Your largest element takes 23.7 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: 28.3 s

    28.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.315

    0.315

    The layout shifts by 0.315 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.22

    0.22

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.22 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 287 ms

    287 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 287 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 156 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 160 ms

    160 ms

    Real visitors wait 160 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 6.9 MB in 81 requests

    6.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.9 MB in 81 requests on a phone: images 5.6 MB (41), scripts 1.2 MB (11) and other files 28 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.95 g of CO₂e: 234.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8689
  • 28 text elements with low contrast

    28 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 11 tap targets too small

    11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (3 elements)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 3 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.

  • 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.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 8264
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (17 characters)

    Your title is only 17 characters: “TK Maxx Australia”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.tkmaxx.com.au/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at tkmaxx.com.au/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

2 checks passed
  • Meta description: 96 characters

    Your meta description is 96 characters: “Big brands. Small prices. Shop fashion, home, beauty, kids and so much more at a store near you.”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

AI search readiness

1 to fix69
  • 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://www.tkmaxx.com.au/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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Framing 'https://www.facebook.com/' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-src 'self' www.goo…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 124 words

    The homepage has only about 124 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and The Trade Desk and 1 more (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies, 2 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 tkmaxx.com.au, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
