Speed

12 to fix66
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    570 ms · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 570 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Yotpo and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 2.7 MB and 934 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 535 KiB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (535 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 138 KiB

    5 images could be 138 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 219 ms

    219 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 723 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.

  • Yotpo adds 189 ms

    189 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 189 ms of main-thread work and 501 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.

  • 2,338 HTML elements

    The page has 2,338 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 157 ms

    157 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 157 ms of main-thread work and 746 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.

  • Azure Web Services adds 103 ms

    103 ms

    Azure Web Services costs a phone 103 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 141 KiB

    About 141 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 106 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    102 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 102 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    28 KiB

    28 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 13.3 MB in 349 requests

    13.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 349 requests on a phone: media 8.2 MB (2), scripts 2.7 MB (139) and other files 1.1 MB (125). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.77 g of CO₂e: 452.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images 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.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8188
  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • ARIA tooltip nodes must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA tooltip nodes must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 9 images without alt text

    9 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.

  • 26 links without text

    26 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 14 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 9 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8578
  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Virgins Saints & Angels”, “Virgins Saints & Angels” and “Virgins Saints & Angels”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (288 characters)

    Your meta description is 288 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at vsadesigns.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 145 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 145 pages on vsadesigns.com and 10 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 61 characters

  • Canonical URL set

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://vsadesigns.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix81
  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (687 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://vsadesigns.com/collections/maddie, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/all-products, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/collections, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/all-necklaces, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/beaded-necklaces and https://vsadesigns.com/collections/medallions and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://vsadesigns.com/collections/maddie, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/all-products, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/collections, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/all-necklaces, https://vsadesigns.com/collections/beaded-necklaces and https://vsadesigns.com/collections/medallions and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 778 words of copy

    33

    Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 55 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 55 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
