Avoid `document.write()`
For users on slow connections, external scripts dynamically injected via `document.write()` can delay page load by tens of seconds. Learn more.
Minimize main-thread work
9.5 s

These DOM elements contribute most to the CLS of the page.
Keep request counts low and transfer sizes small
141 requests • 2,544 KiB
To set budgets for the quantity and size of page resources, add a budget.json file. Learn more.

Trust and Safety

Does not use HTTPS
1 insecure request found
All sites should be protected with HTTPS, even ones that don't handle sensitive data. This includes avoiding mixed content, where some resources are loaded over HTTP despite the initial request being servedover HTTPS. HTTPS prevents intruders from tampering with or passively listening in on the communications between your app and your users, and is a prerequisite for HTTP/2 and many new web platform APIs. Learn more.
Includes front-end JavaScript libraries with known security vulnerabilities
4 vulnerabilities detected
Some third-party scripts may contain known security vulnerabilities that are easily identified and exploited by attackers. Learn more.
General
Browser errors were logged to the console
Errors logged to the console indicate unresolved problems. They can come from network request failures and other browser concerns. Learn more
User Experience
Serves images with low resolution
Image natural dimensions should be proportional to the display size and the pixel ratio to maximize image clarity. Learn more.

1 insecure request found
All sites should be protected with HTTPS, even ones that don't handle sensitive data. This includes avoiding mixed content, where some resources are loaded over HTTP despite the initial request being servedover HTTPS. HTTPS prevents intruders from tampering with or passively listening in on the communications between your app and your users, and is a prerequisite for HTTP/2 and many new web platform APIs. Learn more.
Fast and reliable
Current page does not respond with a 200 when offline
If you're building a Progressive Web App, consider using a service worker so that your app can work offline. Learn more.
`start_url` does not respond with a 200 when offline

Takealot.com Mobile Accessibility: 75/100
Quick overview:
Names and labels
These are opportunities to improve the semantics of the controls in your application. This may enhance the experience for users of assistive technology, like a screen reader.
Links do not have a discernible name
Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible, unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users. Learn more.
Form elements do not have associated labels
Labels ensure that form controls are announced properly by assistive technologies, like screen readers. Learn more.
Buttons do not have an accessible name
When a button doesn't have an accessible name, screen readers announce it as "button", making it unusable for users who rely on screen readers. Learn more.
`<frame>` or `<iframe>` elements do not have a title
Screen reader users rely on frame titles to describe the contents of frames. Learn more.
Best practices
These items highlight common accessibility best practices.
`[user-scalable="no"]` is used in the `<meta name="viewport">` element or the `[maximum-scale]` attribute is less than 5.
Disabling zooming is problematic for users with low vision who rely on screen magnification to properly see the contents of a web page. Learn more.
Contrast
These are opportunities to improve the legibility of your content.
