Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 412 KiBAbout 412 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.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 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 (Klarna, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 507 KiB and 235 ms of main-thread time.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 228 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
210 KiB16 images could be 210 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 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 · 40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
48 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48 KiB).
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 89 but mobile only 63. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 28% slower for real visitors
+28%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.7 s to 5.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 235 ms
235 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 235 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 128 ms to 157 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 193 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 193 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (62), other files 758 KiB (92) and images 690 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (74 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label

Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 88 characters
Your meta description is 88 characters: “men's shoes and clothing, artisanal quality and timeless style. online and in store.”.
Title: 37 characters
Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Velasca | Italian style, made to last”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.velasca.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

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.

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.velasca.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Best practices
4 small tap targets
4 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: Message: Couldn't fetch the Instagram feed. { "message": "Network Error", "name": "AxiosError", "stack": "AxiosE…”.
1 checks passed
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 207 words
The homepage has only about 207 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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

Privacy and tracking

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
21 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
