Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and Attentive and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Signyfyd adds 797 ms
797 msSignyfyd costs a phone 797 ms of main-thread work and 283 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 JavaScript
796 KiBAbout 796 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 341 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
277 KiB6 images could be 277 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 218 ms
218 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 302 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.
Shopify adds 40 ms
40 msShopify costs a phone 40 ms of main-thread work and 331 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 · 31 KiBAbout 31 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
156 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (156 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Legacy JavaScript
4 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 4 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 282 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 282 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (66), images 1.3 MB (87) and other files 791 KiB (114). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
aDSC04222-4.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 in older formats
1 image (47 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.01 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 84 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 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

No llms.txt
There is no https://www.westnyc.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.

Content and conversion
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 96 words
The homepage has only about 96 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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 risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
4 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Shop collection”, “Contact” and “icon-email Subscribe”.

21Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
