Speed

5 to fix79
  • Improve image delivery

    950 ms · 277 KiB

    5 images could be 277 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 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.

  • Shopify adds 110 ms

    110 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 110 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 383 KiB and 117 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6 KiB

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

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 459 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix73
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Your largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 300 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 300 requests on a phone: images 860 KiB (18), other files 831 KiB (127) and scripts 492 KiB (140). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    2 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 81DJiW6LNpL._AC_SS1000.jpg at 389 px wide, shown at 129 px. Resized copies would save about 2 KiB.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.3 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 load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9094
  • Hidden but focusable

    10 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 2 images without alt text

    2 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.

  • 10 links without text

    10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9295
  • Meta description is long (223 characters)

    Your meta description is 223 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 73 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 73 pages on zootly.us and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Zootly”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Curated Home Furniture | Thoughtful Style for Every Room – Zootly”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://zootly.us/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://zootly.us/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://zootly.us/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 (917 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://zootly.us/collections/all, https://zootly.us/collections/home-office-desk-chairs, https://zootly.us/collections/lounge-chairs, https://zootly.us/collections/over-the-toilet-storage and https://zootly.us/collections/sofas-couches have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Identifier 'section' has already been declared”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 230 words

    The homepage has only about 230 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Shop Now” and “Shop now”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 zootly.us, 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
