Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 471 KiBAbout 471 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, OptiMonk and Clarity and others), adding 2.9 MB and 466 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 246 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (246 KiB).
Improve image delivery
721 KiB7 images could be 721 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 103 KiBAbout 103 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 136 ms
136 msShopify costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 286 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,310 HTML elements
The page has 2,310 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
30 KiB30 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify CSS
10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
23 images without width and height
23 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 255 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 255 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (51), scripts 1.1 MB (80) and other files 745 KiB (105). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
478 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example HP_RaeDoor-Retina-1.jpg at 2,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 478 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (513 KiB) are 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (257 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 153.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
69 images without alt text
69 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 13 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “UniKitOut - #1 Student Pack supplier Trusted by over 350 Universities.”.
8 H1 headlines
There are 8 <h1> headlines (“”, “Unsure of your first steps?” and “Uni Packing? Sorted.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (296 characters)
Your meta description is 296 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
17 links crawlers can't follow
17 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
177 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 177 pages on unikitout.com and 12 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.unikitout.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: FAQPage, ItemList and Service.
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.unikitout.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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 (3,595 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.unikitout.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages share 2 titles
https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit and https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit-2025 all use the title “The Premium Student Kit | University Starter Kit – UniKitOut”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.unikitout.com/apps/gbb/easybundle/5, https://www.unikitout.com/collections/student-kits, https://www.unikitout.com/collections/kitchen-kits, https://www.unikitout.com/collections/bedding-kits and https://www.unikitout.com/collections/bathroom-kits have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages share a meta description
https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit and https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit-2025 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit-2025, whose canonical is https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 pages without an H1
https://www.unikitout.com/pages/partners, https://www.unikitout.com/pages/cost-comparison, https://www.unikitout.com/apps/gbb/easybundle/5, https://www.unikitout.com/collections/student-kits, https://www.unikitout.com/collections/kitchen-kits and https://www.unikitout.com/collections/bedding-kits and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
https://www.unikitout.com/products/premium-complete-international-kit-2025 and https://www.unikitout.com/products/deluxe-complete-kit-2025 took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
