Findings (8)
LCP is measured at 9628ms and PageLoad at 9632ms.
Optimize Largest Contentful Paint by compressing heavy hero images, prioritizing critical CSS, and reducing the 52-tool script bloat. A sub-2.5s LCP is the benchmark for healthy conversion.
Data reports 'Reviews: None' despite a marketing claim of being 'Trusted by 1M+ customers'.
Immediately integrate and display a review provider (e.g., Okendo, Stamped, or Loox). For a furniture brand with an average price of $1056, high-ticket items require verified customer photos and text reviews to reduce purchase anxiety.
The store is running multiple redundant tools for the same functions: SMS (Attentive + Postscript) and Customer Support (Gorgias + Kustomer).
Consolidate the marketing and CX stack. Running Attentive and Postscript simultaneously creates 'double-texting' risks and increases DOM size. Pick one leader for each category to improve performance and data integrity.
There are 1000 collections for 1000 products (1:1 ratio).
Audit collection strategy. A 1:1 ratio suggests automated collection creation or lack of proper category nesting, which dilutes SEO authority (crawl budget waste) and makes user navigation difficult. Consolidate into meaningful categories like 'Dining Chairs' or 'Mid-Century Modern Living Room'.
The store ships only to 1 country (US) and supports 0 additional languages despite being a major furniture brand.
Enable Shopify Markets for Canada or UK expansion. Furniture is a logistics-heavy category, but the 'standard' plan and 'lifetime guarantee' suggest a scalable model that could benefit from localized currency and shipping via localized subdomains.
Data shows a discount rate of 100%.
Verify price and discount configuration. While likely an artifact of the 'March Flash Sale' data pull or a sitewide 'Buy 1 Get 1' or similar heavy promotion, a 100% discount rate in the catalog feed can cause issues with Google Merchant Center and ad spend efficiency.
8 web pixels are active along with massive GTM/Analytics tracking (GA4, UA, Northbeam, Elevar, Clarity).
Move more tracking to the server-side using Elevar (already present) to reduce browser-side processing. The fast TTFB (23ms) vs. slow LCP (9628ms) confirms that the delay is purely client-side execution/rendering.
Subscriptions are enabled ('True ()') but not clearly categorized or review-supported.
Ensure subscription options for high-utility items (like bedroom sets or specific accessories) are prominent on PDPs, leveraging the existing Rebuy integration for smart cross-sells.
