Speed

14 to fix40
  • Main-thread work: 11.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 11.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 5,240 HTML elements

    The page has 5,240 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and lrkt-in.com and others), adding 2.9 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 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 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 843 KiB

    171 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (843 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 951 KiB

    41 images could be 951 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Shopify adds 498 ms

    498 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 498 ms of main-thread work and 710 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 382 ms

    382 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 697 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 390 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • lrkt-in.com adds 265 ms

    265 ms

    lrkt-in.com costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 145 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 198 ms

    198 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 198 ms of main-thread work and 558 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 170 ms

    170 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 504 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 · 90 KiB

    About 90 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    67 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 67 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 9.7 MB in 642 requests

    9.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.7 MB in 642 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (81), scripts 3.7 MB (336) and other files 1.0 MB (173). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (462 KiB) are 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 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.76 g of CO₂e: 331.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8893
  • 27 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 448 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 5 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • No social preview image

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

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 337 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 337 pages on wigs.com and 14 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “Shop top name-brand wigs, including human hair, lace front, and synthetic wigs. Explore expert wig reviews, exclusive v…”.

  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Wigs, Lace Front, Human Hair & Synthetic – Wigs.com”.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.wigs.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 (2,652 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.wigs.com/collections/all has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar and TikTok Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Ads and 2 mores (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.

  • 33 cookies set on arrival

    33

    Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies (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.

  • 69 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 69 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 wigs.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
