Improve image delivery
2.4 s · 2.2 MB15 images could be 2.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. 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, Google CDN and Amazon Web Services and others), adding 3.3 MB and 259 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Shopify adds 138 ms
138 msShopify costs a phone 138 ms of main-thread work and 2.8 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
396 KiBAbout 396 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
2,690 HTML elements
The page has 2,690 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google CDN adds 96 ms
96 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 96 ms of main-thread work and 297 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 · 40 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (40 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 21 KiBAbout 21 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 445 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 32 ms
32 msYour server sent the HTML in 32 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s
6.6 sYour largest element takes 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Black Friday Sale”.
Time to Interactive: 7.1 s
7.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
18 images without width and height
18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 95 ms to 86 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 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 168 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 168 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (24), scripts 746 KiB (48) and other files 744 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
16 images far larger than shown
1.8 MB16 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Black_Friday_Sale.jpg at 1,512 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.8 MB.
9 images below the first screen load straight away
9 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (234 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 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 144.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
34 text elements with low contrast
34 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (14 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor 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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “Universal Textiles”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Welcome to the Universal Textiles Store!”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (206 characters)
Your meta description is 206 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
573 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 573 pages on universal-textiles.com and 2 external pages.

AI search readiness
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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,241 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/collections/lazy-jacks has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
12 pages without an H1
/collections/trespass-offer, /collections/fruit-of-the-loom, /collections/regatta, /collections/craghoppers, /collections/dare-2b and /collections/result and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 pages slow to respond

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 160 words
The homepage has only about 160 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
3 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “SHOP NOW”, “Subscribe” and “Order Procedure”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and a star rating.
Privacy and tracking
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 universal-textiles.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
