Speed

12 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 560 KiB

    About 560 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s 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 (bc-solutions.net, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.

  • bc-solutions.net adds 788 ms

    788 ms

    bc-solutions.net costs a phone 788 ms of main-thread work and 243 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 255 KiB

    15 images could be 255 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    450 ms · 64 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 64 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 394 ms

    394 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 394 ms of main-thread work and 987 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 365 ms

    365 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 365 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • 1,776 HTML elements

    The page has 1,776 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Feefo.com adds 105 ms

    105 ms

    Feefo.com costs a phone 105 ms of main-thread work and 339 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 215 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (215 KiB).

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    40 ms · 70 KiB

    About 70 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 40 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    51 KiB

    51 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.2 s

    13.2 s

    Your largest element takes 13.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.4 s

    21.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 925 ms

    925 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 925 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 133 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 134 ms

    134 ms

    Real visitors wait 134 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: 0.7 s

    0.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 292 ms

    292 ms

    Real visitors wait 292 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 296 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 296 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (113), images 1.2 MB (41) and other files 768 KiB (83). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    b8780045-55fd-4363-a180-52533dc15fac.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).

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8794
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Hidden but focusable

    24 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 13 text elements with low contrast

    13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 4 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9295
  • Meta description is long (184 characters)

    Your meta description is 184 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 123 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 123 pages on wearethought.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Thought Clothing UK”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Sustainability Should be a Joy | Thought Clothing”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us.

  • 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://thoughtsocks.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), 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 (290 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://thoughtsocks.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 10 pages without a meta description

    https://thoughtsocks.com/collections/3-for-15, https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/striped-socks, https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/mens-trainer-socks, https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/mens-birthday-socks, https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/mens-celebration-socks and https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/mens-sports-socks and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://thoughtsocks.com/pages/delivery, whose canonical is https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/pages/delivery. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/sustainable-socks-mens and https://thoughtsocks.com/en-us/collections/mens-gift-boxes 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 73 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    88 of 90 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 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 299 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 299 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Sign Up”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Sign up to email”, “SHOP NOW” and “Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 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 wearethought.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
