Prepared by Alvuo Labs (Portugal). Measured with Google Lighthouse, mobile emulation, home page only, as a normal visitor. Two runs: both on 11-11-2026. Timing values vary between runs, so both are shown.
| Metric | Run 1 | Run 2 | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance (0-100) | 50 | 52 | 90+ is good |
| Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) | 7.1 s | 5.6 s | ≤ 2.5 s |
| Total Blocking Time | 940 ms | 890 ms | ≤ 200 ms |
| Total page weight | 5,090 KiB | 5,086 KiB | the lower the better |
| Accessibility (0-100) | 90 | 90 | 100 |
What we measured: The largest element on screen is the image K_Z_17.01.22-15_copy_2.jpg. In run 1 the browser only started requesting it 4.5 s after the HTML arrived ("load delay"), plus 1.2 s render delay.
<img src=".../K_Z_17.01.22-15_copy_2.jpg?...&width=..." alt="" srcset="...">LCP (run 1): TTFB 0.6 s + load delay 4.5 s + download 0.9 s + render 1.2 sImpact: Mobile visitors look at an incomplete page for several seconds; LCP is one of the page-experience signals Google uses.
Fix: Preload this image (link rel=preload with imagesrcset), set fetchpriority="high" and make sure it is not lazy-loaded or inserted by JavaScript.
What we measured: The home page loads an hCaptcha bundle (683 KiB + 209 KiB) and the Shopify Forms app script (260 KiB), even before anyone opens a form. Lighthouse estimates 316 KiB of unused JavaScript.
newassets.hcaptcha.com/.../hsw.js — 683 KiBnewassets.hcaptcha.com/captcha/v1/.../hcaptcha... — 209 KiBcdn.shopify.com/extensions/.../forms-2708/assets/index.js — 260 KiBTotal Blocking Time 890-940 ms (target ≤ 200 ms)Impact: More mobile data and slower response to taps while these scripts run.
Fix: Load the sign-up form/captcha only when the form is opened (or after first interaction), and review which apps really need to run on the home page.
What we measured: 32 collection links (bedroom, dining room, living room, study, textiles, etc., 4 links each) and the Facebook and Instagram icons have no text a screen reader can announce. The green banner text (white on #93a17b) has a contrast ratio of 2.75:1 (minimum 4.5:1).
<a href="/collections/bedroom" class="full-unstyled-link"> (no accessible name, ×4)<a href="https://www.facebook.com/KitandCaboodle.pt/"> (icon only)"HIGH QUALITY PRE-LOVED FURNITURE": #ffffff on #93a17b — 2.75:1Impact: Screen-reader users just hear "link" with no destination; the banner text is hard to read in sunlight or with low vision. Accessibility of online shops has been required in the EU since June 2025 (European Accessibility Act).
Fix: Add aria-label to image/icon links (e.g. "Bedroom collection", "Kit & Caboodle on Facebook") and darken the banner green (e.g. #5f6b4a gives about 5.7:1 with white).
Optional next step: we fix these 3 issues and the others found for a fixed price of 300 EUR, with before/after measurements. Or we deliver the full report with step-by-step instructions for your team for 150 EUR.
