Speed

11 to fix53
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 808 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    14 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

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Klaviyo 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    200 ms

    4 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 KiB

    16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.4 s

    22.4 s

    Your largest element takes 22.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A woman giving a Trollbeads gift box to another woman”.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.6 s

    22.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 481 ms

    481 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 481 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 23 images without width and height

    23 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 116 ms to 113 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 179 ms

    179 ms

    Real visitors wait 179 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 609 ms

    609 ms

    Real visitors wait 609 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.009

    0.009

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.009, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 368 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

8 to fixGoogle 8390
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • 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.

  • 298 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 298 pages on trollbeads.ca and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 146 characters

    Your meta description is 146 characters: “Trollbeads is the original bead-on-bracelet brand. Since 1976, our jewellery collection has grown to include bracelets,…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Trollbeads”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.trollbeads.com/.

  • 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://www.trollbeads.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.trollbeads.com/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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,898 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/christmas-gift-guide-2026, https://www.trollbeads.com/pages/advent-box, https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/i-wish-you and https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/peoples-uniques-2026 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/christmas-gift-guide-2026, https://www.trollbeads.com/pages/advent-box, https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/new-in, https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/i-wish-you and https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/peoples-uniques-2026 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/christmas-gift-guide-2026 took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 131 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 1,172 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,172 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “SHOP BY MATERIAL”, “GET STARTED HERE ➤” and “Book Lovers”.

  • 8 short forms

    8 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 124 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

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, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 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.

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 trollbeads.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
