Speed

9 to fix49
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 674 KiB

    About 674 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 499 KiB

    36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (499 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 9.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,130 HTML elements

    The page has 4,130 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 (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and truevaultcdn.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 766 KiB

    22 images could be 766 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 631 ms

    631 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 631 ms of main-thread work and 361 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.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 56 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.7 s

    18.7 s

    Your largest element takes 18.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 23.6 s

    23.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 816 ms

    816 ms

    Real visitors wait 816 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 51 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 446 ms

    446 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 446 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 139 ms

    139 ms

    Real visitors wait 139 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 171 ms to 152 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix38
  • Page weight: 4.8 MB in 318 requests

    4.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 318 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (114), images 1.8 MB (61) and other files 735 KiB (121). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    5d1d51efbf14402995391f19fcc47d80.thumbnail.0000000000_1200x. weighs 522 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    November_Sale_1_Mb_-_2026.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 17 images below the first screen load straight away

    17 images further down the page (880 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    193 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example usabs_r_1_58c0a358-1548-4017-84db-9692599f6e64.webp at 800 px wide, shown at 90 px. Resized copies would save about 193 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (165 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 161.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • 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.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 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: 46 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 80 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 80 pages on vktry.com and 0 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “100% aerospace-grade carbon fiber performance insoles for shock absorption, energy return, and helping to protect again…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Save $50!”.

  • Title: 45 characters

    Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “VKTRY Carbon Fiber Sports Performance Insoles”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vktry.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://vktry.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Parts of the site are closed to 6 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

3 checks passed
  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,415 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

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    /products/vktry-insoles-gold and /products/gift-bundle-v2 all use the title “VKTRY Gold VK Shock-Absorbing Performance Orthotic Insoles”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /collections/recovery-footwear, /collections/bundle-save, /pages/quiz, /collections/gear and /collections/best-seller have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /products/vktry-insoles-gold and /products/gift-bundle-v2 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    /products/vktry-insoles-gold, /products/gift-bundle-v2, /products/vktry-insoles-silver and /products/custom-orthotics-platinum have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=11042346&Ver=2&mid=6107e7c9-74d4-481b-8547-a6a6da47b65a&bo=3&sid=1daa5180d8de11f1a1cef1c088f60403&vid=1daa82f0d8de11f18020f90d7d690a18&vids=0&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.

  • 32 small tap targets

    32 of 41 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 1,549 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,549 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed
  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Help & Contact” and “Contact Us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 22 testimonial or review blocks and 29 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Ads and 4 mores (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.

  • 49 cookies set on arrival

    49

    Opening the homepage sets 49 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.

  • 80 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 80 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 vktry.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
