Speed

7 to fix67
  • 4,751 HTML elements

    The page has 4,751 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 423 KiB

    24 images could be 423 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 522 KiB and 606 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Shopify adds 390 ms

    390 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 390 ms of main-thread work and 258 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 175 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    161 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (161 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    119 KiB

    About 119 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix60
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.157

    0.157

    The layout shifts by 0.157 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 195 ms

    195 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 195 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 4.9 MB in 308 requests

    4.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 308 requests on a phone: images 3.4 MB (114), scripts 709 KiB (102) and other files 686 KiB (82). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    K-148_OLIV_1.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).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (101 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 167.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 7585
  • 17 buttons without a name

    17 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Hidden but focusable

    3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 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.

  • 16 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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.

  • 56 form fields without a label

    56 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 30 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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

3 to fixGoogle 8587
  • Title is short (5 characters)

    Your title is only 5 characters: “tones”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and Product) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 2 is not valid JSON (Expected ',' or '}' after property value in JSON at position)”.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 114 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 114 pages on tones.co and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 75 characters

    Your meta description is 75 characters: “Clothes they can live in, play in, lounge in, and most of all, be loved in.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “everyday essentials”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://tones.co/.

  • 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://tones.co/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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (654 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://tones.co/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://tones.co/pages/contact, https://tones.co/pages/about, https://tones.co/pages/faq, https://tones.co/pages/size-guide, https://tones.co/collections/pajamas and https://tones.co/policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://tones.co/pages/contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 7770
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://tones.co/.

  • 49 small tap targets

    49 of 93 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 448 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 448 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: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “CONTACT US”, “SHOP NOW” and “SHOP GIRLS”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 tones.co, 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 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
