Speed

3 to fix99
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    373 KiB

    About 373 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • zotabox.com adds 274 ms

    274 ms

    zotabox.com costs a phone 274 ms of main-thread work and 548 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.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 281 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (zotabox.com, Mailchimp and Shopify and others), adding 562 KiB and 280 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    110 KiB

    About 110 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    100 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 100 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    28 KiB

    2 images could be 28 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    27 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 99

    99/100

    Your mobile performance score is 99. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 407 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix99
  • Time to Interactive: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

5 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 116 ms

    116 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 116 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “A collection that continues to evolve since our first poste…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 165 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 165 requests on a phone: other files 940 KiB (141), scripts 702 KiB (17) and images 101 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Vintage Art Source - Original Posters from the late 1800's to present”.

  • Meta description is long (204 characters)

    Your meta description is 204 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 17 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 17 pages on vintageartsource.com and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Vintage Art Source”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vintageartsource.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://vintageartsource.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://vintageartsource.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.

1 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.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://vintageartsource.com/collections/gallery has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 internal pages checked

    We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    2 pages of 5 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • 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 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 127 words

    The homepage has only about 127 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.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Subscribe”.

  • 3 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 vintageartsource.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
