Speed

10 to fix43
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 984 KiB

    About 984 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 1.4 MB

    36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Shopify and others), adding 8.5 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 MB

    13 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Shopify adds 167 ms

    167 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 167 ms of main-thread work and 7.4 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 460 ms

    460 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 460 ms of main-thread work and 461 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.

  • 1,506 HTML elements

    The page has 1,506 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 222 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 65 KiB

    About 65 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 · 48 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.28

    0.28

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.0 s

    21.0 s

    Your largest element takes 21.0 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: 25.3 s

    25.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 840 ms

    840 ms

    Real visitors wait 840 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 544 ms

    544 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 544 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 17 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Real visitors wait 127 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 12.6 MB in 331 requests

    12.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.6 MB in 331 requests on a phone: media 6.9 MB (4), images 2.1 MB (69) and scripts 2.1 MB (97). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (545 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    54 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 71115_POSCA_Paint_by_Number_5m_8c_Boho_Vibes_Render_front_re at 600 px wide, shown at 163 px. Resized copies would save about 54 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (85 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 3.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.57 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.57 g of CO₂e: 428.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 7182
  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 14 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 16 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 14 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8375
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Innovative Writing Tools | High Quality Pens | uni Brands Corporation”.

  • Meta description is long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 16 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 9 links with vague text

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

  • 94 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 94 pages on uniballco.com and 14 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.unibrands.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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.unibrands.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.unibrands.co/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 (1,008 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 39 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

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

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 35 small tap targets

    35 of 82 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • 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 473 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 473 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 ALL PENS” and “Learn More”.

  • 36 calls to action

    The homepage has 36 calls to action, for example “Shop by Brand”, “Sign up.” and “SHOP ALL PENS”.

  • 12 short forms

    12 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks and 6 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity and 4 mores (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.

  • 29 cookies set on arrival

    29

    Opening the homepage sets 29 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.

  • 50 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 50 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 uniballco.com, 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 11 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
