Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,871 HTML elements
The page has 3,871 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 3.7 MB43 images could be 3.7 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 710 KiB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (710 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 819 KiBAbout 819 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (volcom.eu, Klaviyo and vercel.app and others), adding 1.4 MB and 518 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 232 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 36 KiB36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
44 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 44 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
30 KiB30 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Server response: 17 ms
17 msYour server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

6.3 sYour largest element takes 6.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “HOMME FEMME ENFANT HOMME FEMME ENFANT DÉCOUVRIR VESTE HERNA…”.
Speed Index: 6.8 s
6.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 239 ms
239 msReal visitors wait 239 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 30.2 MB in 398 requests
30.2 MBYour homepage downloads 30.2 MB in 398 requests on a phone: media 20.9 MB (6), images 5.7 MB (86) and scripts 2.2 MB (106). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Header_Mob_JACKET_V3_750x.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).
1 image far larger than shown
9 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ICONE_OUTLET.png at 390 px wide, shown at 124 px. Resized copies would save about 9 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (172 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 8.6 g of CO₂ per visit
8.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.56 g of CO₂e: 1027.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
22 buttons without a name
22 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
89 links without text
89 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (2 elements)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (17 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 14 failed. 4 mores 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.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.volcom.eu)”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
207 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 207 pages on volcom.fr and 18 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.volcom.fr/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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles) and description; logo and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,215 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.volcom.fr/collections/bons-plans has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://www.volcom.fr/collections/bons-plans, https://www.volcom.fr/collections/homme-vetements, https://www.volcom.fr/collections/femme-vetements and https://www.volcom.fr/collections/homme-vetements-t-shirts-debardeurs have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
