Speed

12 to fix9
  • Improve image delivery

    7.2 s · 32.8 MB

    41 images could be 32.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.7 s · 2.4 MB

    37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.4 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.6 s · 907 KiB

    About 907 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.6 s

    22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.

  • Main-thread work: 13.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 13.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 9

    9/100

    Your mobile performance score is 9. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 3,067 HTML elements

    The page has 3,067 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and mondialrelay.com and others), adding 3.3 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 765 ms

    765 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 765 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    400 ms · 55 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 358 ms

    358 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 358 ms of main-thread work and 64 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 344 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    200 ms · 43 KiB

    43 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 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).

  • Minify JavaScript

    33 KiB

    33 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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 CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 18 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix0
  • 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: 0.91

    0.91

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.91 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 30.9 s

    30.9 s

    Your largest element takes 30.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Venum x Batman”.

  • Speed Index: 23.1 s

    23.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 23.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 38.9 s

    38.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 38.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.888

    0.888

    The layout shifts by 0.888 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 326 ms

    326 ms

    Real visitors wait 326 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 248 ms to 246 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Real-user TTFB: 517 ms

    517 ms

    Real visitors wait 517 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 41.1 MB in 377 requests

    41.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 41.1 MB in 377 requests on a phone: images 37.8 MB (99), scripts 2.4 MB (125) and other files 310 KiB (85). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images far larger than shown

    1.4 MB

    8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 628ae97c8447c14310b22f72c88bbf45b3d747f1_VENUM_06657_721_G_1 at 1,500 px wide, shown at 172 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    https://www.venum.com/ weighs 760 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (825 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.

  • About 11.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    11.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.65 g of CO₂e: 1398.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

14 to fixGoogle 9084
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    4 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (4 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 12 images without alt text

    12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (10 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 63 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 13 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 7365
  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 60 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.venum.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 445 internal links, 26 external

    The homepage links to 445 pages on venum.com and 26 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

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

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) 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.venum.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 (1,300 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

  • Your server turned our page checks away

    15 pages we tried to fetch timed out or refused automated requests, so these checks couldn't run. Some firewalls do this to every bot, including search engine crawlers they don't recognise.

Best practices

5 to fixGoogle 7369
  • 10 broken images

    10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.venum.com/.

  • 70 small tap targets

    70 of 106 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Identifier 'headings' has already been declared”.

  • 5 distorted images

    5 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

100
  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 526 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 526 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” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Shop all Sale”, “Shop by Sport” and “Shop All New Arrivals”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks and 1 customer or partner logo.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.

  • 47 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 47 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 venum.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 34 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
