Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
3,048 HTML elements
The page has 3,048 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and shop.app), adding 113 KiB and 147 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
88 KiB8 images could be 88 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 72 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
15 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 732 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.1 s
5.1 sYour largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Man in a gray and black WindRider jacket with a blue and wh…”.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.1 s
5.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 130 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
2 images in older formats
2 images (92 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 203 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 203 requests on a phone: other files 754 KiB (94), images 419 KiB (18) and scripts 285 KiB (50). That is a lean page.
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
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Your meta description is 289 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
99 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 99 pages on windrider.com and 2 external pages.
6 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://windrider.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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,688 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

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.
About 762 words of copy

7 checks passed

Security, domain, email and software versions
