Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.3 s · 808 KiBAbout 808 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 195 KiBAbout 195 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.2 s
A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 481 KiB14 images could be 481 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 401 ms
401 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 618 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.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 247 ms
247 msKlaviyo costs a phone 247 ms of main-thread work and 627 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.
2,603 HTML elements
The page has 2,603 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 135 ms
135 msShopify costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 717 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 51 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
200 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 368 requests
4.6 MBYour homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 368 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (164), other files 1.2 MB (149) and images 819 KiB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Untitled_2500_x_1500_px.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 (37 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.30 g of CO₂e: 155.4 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
60 buttons without a name
60 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
21 tap targets too small
21 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 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.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 54 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 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: 54 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (10 characters)
Your title is only 10 characters: “Trollbeads”. 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.

AI search readiness

No llms.txt

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
