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
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, sdiapi.com and transcend-cdn.com and others), adding 914 KiB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 515 KiB17 images could be 515 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 311 KiBAbout 311 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 325 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (325 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 477 ms
477 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 407 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
90 ms · 24 KiBAbout 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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 CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s
6.6 sYour largest element takes 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “HOUSE OF BALLOONS TEE Front”.
Time to Interactive: 11.7 s
11.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 651 ms
651 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 651 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 244 ms
244 msReal visitors wait 244 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 235 ms to 250 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.01
0.01The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 146 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 146 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (55), images 937 KiB (20) and other files 606 KiB (55). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
2f.png 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).
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 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
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “X O S T O R E X O S T O R E”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“X O S T O R E” and “X O S T O R E”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
88 internal links, 55 external
The homepage links to 88 pages on xo.store and 55 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 95 characters
Your meta description is 95 characters: “Shop exclusive music and merch from the Official XO Store. Vinyl, hoodies, CDs, tees, and more.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://xo.store/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://xo.store/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://xo.store/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 (396 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages share a meta description
https://xo.store/collections/shop-all, https://xo.store/collections/house-of-balloons, https://xo.store/collections/thursday, https://xo.store/collections/echoes-of-silence and https://xo.store/collections/kiss-land use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
7 checks passed
Linked pages load

Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Every page has a meta description
All 5 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1

None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
8 small tap targets
8 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'open' of object '#<Window>'”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
Only about 160 words
The homepage has only about 160 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
3 checks passed
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “SHOP INTERNATIONAL”, “SHOP ALL MERCH” and “Shop All Collections”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel 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.
18 cookies set on arrival
18Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.
38 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 38 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 xo.store, 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.
