Render-blocking requests

Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 469 KiBAbout 469 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and kiwisizing.com and others), adding 1.0 MB and 433 ms of main-thread time.
2,851 HTML elements
The page has 2,851 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.7 s
A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 751 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 163 ms
163 msShopify costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 497 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
100 ms · 217 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (217 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 126 KiB5 images could be 126 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 144 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
38 KiBAbout 38 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 288 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 288 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (119), other files 811 KiB (102) and images 517 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
ChatGPT_Image_Oct_26_2026_04_57_22_PM.png 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).
2 images far larger than shown
225 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ChatGPT_Image_Jun_29_2026_05_38_04_PM.png at 1,086 px wide, shown at 183 px. Resized copies would save about 225 KiB.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
Meta description is long (212 characters)
Your meta description is 212 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
171 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 171 pages on westernwears.com and 3 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Western Wears”.
Title: 35 characters

Canonical URL set

Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://westernwears.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://westernwears.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.
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, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,301 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://westernwears.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://westernwears.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
https://westernwears.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://westernwears.com/collections/new-in and https://westernwears.com/collections/top-selling%F0%9F%94%A5 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://westernwears.com/collections/top-selling%F0%9F%94%A5, whose canonical is https://westernwears.com/collections/top-selling%f0%9f%94%a5. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://westernwears.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. 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.

17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
