Speed
Improve image delivery
2.0 s · 909 KiB19 images could be 909 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.3 s · 333 KiBAbout 333 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 873 ms 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 (Shopify, rechargecdn.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 920 KiB and 466 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 36 KiBAbout 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 40 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (40 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 219 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 219 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (32), scripts 956 KiB (76) and other files 731 KiB (90). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.03 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.03 g of CO₂e: 123.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

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 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 8 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 short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “THE VIKING PROMISE”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (306 characters)
Your meta description is 306 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
80 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 80 pages on vikingrevolution.com and 6 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Viking Revolution”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://vikingrevolution.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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://vikingrevolution.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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 (618 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://vikingrevolution.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
11 pages without a meta description
https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-balms-mustache-waxes, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-oils, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-washes-conditioners, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-combs-grooming and https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-kits and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-balms-mustache-waxes, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-growth, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-oils, https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-washes-conditioners and https://vikingrevolution.com/collections/beard-combs-grooming and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

1 third-party cookie

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 582 words of copy
The homepage carries about 582 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Subscribe & Save”, “Buy With Prime” and “BUY NOW”.

7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
19 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 vikingrevolution.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
