Speed

2 to fix92
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    350 ms · 95 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (95 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    160 ms · 134 KiB

    About 134 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and shop.app and others), adding 514 KiB and 140 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    20 KiB

    1 image could be 20 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    15 KiB

    About 15 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 92

    92/100

    Your mobile performance score is 92. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 442 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix99
  • Speed Index: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “A pair of Wire Hawks helps you run wires faster and easier …”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 20 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 154 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 154 requests on a phone: other files 662 KiB (80), scripts 534 KiB (50) and fonts 275 KiB (7). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 8990
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • 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 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9281
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (178 characters)

    Your meta description is 178 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.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

    6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 14 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 14 pages on wirehawk.com and 6 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “Wire Hawk for Robotic Lawn Mowers – Wirehawk”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://wirehawk.com/.

  • 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://wirehawk.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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 (281 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://wirehawk.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://wirehawk.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://wirehawk.com/products/wire-hawk-pair, https://wirehawk.com/collections/all and https://wirehawk.com/pages/interested-in-selling-the-wire-hawk-to-your-customers have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 4 internal pages checked

    We fetched 4 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 4 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

  • 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 280 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 280 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: “BUY WIRE HAWK - 2 PACK $17.99” and “Shop Now”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Buy Wire Hawk - 2 Pack $17.99” and “Shop Now”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 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 wirehawk.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
