Improve image delivery
1.7 s · 832 KiB19 images could be 832 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, vitals.app and shop.app), adding 1.2 MB and 374 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
497 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (497 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
296 KiBAbout 296 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 907 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,804 HTML elements
The page has 2,804 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
vitals.app adds 169 ms
169 msvitals.app costs a phone 169 ms of main-thread work and 876 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 205 ms
205 msShopify costs a phone 205 ms of main-thread work and 396 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
17 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 17 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 278 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 278 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (26), scripts 911 KiB (115) and other files 869 KiB (123). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (369 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (163 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.12 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.12 g of CO₂e: 134.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
24 text elements with low contrast
24 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (10 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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.
8 links without text
8 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 (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (8 characters)
Your title is only 8 characters: “xicustom”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
120 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 120 pages on xicustom.com and 4 external pages.

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.xicustom.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.xicustom.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.
2 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 (1,193 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.xicustom.com/collections/hot-selling, https://www.xicustom.com/collections/for-mom, https://www.xicustom.com/collections/christmas and https://www.xicustom.com/collections/featured-items have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://www.xicustom.com/collections/hot-selling, https://www.xicustom.com/collections/for-mom, https://www.xicustom.com/collections/christmas and https://www.xicustom.com/collections/featured-items have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 549 words of copy
The homepage carries about 549 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
4 calls to action

Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel (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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 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.
11 other companies contacted

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 xicustom.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
