z2comics.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.9 s · 542 KiB20 images could be 542 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 7.3 s
A phone's processor spends 7.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6,451 HTML elements
The page has 6,451 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, amaicdn.com and emotivecdn.io and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 740 KiBAbout 740 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
766 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (766 KiB).
Shopify adds 329 ms
329 msShopify costs a phone 329 ms of main-thread work and 879 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.
amaicdn.com adds 249 ms
249 msamaicdn.com costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 323 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 262 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
emotivecdn.io adds 221 ms
221 msemotivecdn.io costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 384 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 220 ms
220 msKlaviyo costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.
Legacy JavaScript
149 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 149 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
107 KiB107 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Reduce unused CSS
71 KiBAbout 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
47 KiB47 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.2 MB in 528 requests
6.2 MBYour homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 528 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (85), scripts 2.3 MB (221) and other files 953 KiB (162). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (32 KiB) is 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 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.75 g of CO₂e: 210.1 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
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
72 images without alt text
72 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
131 links without text
131 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Z2 – Z2 Comics”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
448 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 448 pages on z2comics.com and 11 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 72 characters
Your meta description is 72 characters: “VINYL + GRAPHIC NOVELS + ART BOOKS + COLLECTIBLES + TRADING CARDS + MORE”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://z2comics.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://z2comics.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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 (3,593 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
/policies/shipping-policy, /collections/graphic-novels, /collections/toys, /collections/trading-cards, /collections/apparel-accessories and /collections/softcover-books and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/all-time-low/ALL-TIME-LOW, whose canonical is /collections/all-time-low/all-time-low. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (z2comics.com).
Valid certificate (51 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for z2comics.com and is valid for another 51 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://z2comics.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 26 days
z2comics.com is registered until Dec 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.
No CAA record
z2comics.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
z2comics.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
1 checks passed
Domain is 13 years old
13 yearsz2comics.com was registered in Dec 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
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 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 892 words of copy
The homepage carries about 892 words of visible text.

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be z2comics.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
