What your site is actually doing.

Audit of https://aerthom.com/, run August 20, 2026. 10 issues were found. I want them fixed.

## Context
- Site: https://aerthom.com/
- Mobile LCP (lab median): 360 ms
- Desktop LCP (lab median): 398 ms
- Page weight (median): 1.9 MB
- Tap targets under 44px: 30% (13 of 43)
- Evidence base: 4 mobile + 2 desktop loads

## Already working, do not change these
- Speed is good: The main content paints in about 0.4s in our test loads, inside Google's 2.5s "good" threshold. Real networks are slower, but the page itself is not heavy.
- No JavaScript errors on load: Nothing threw a script error across the test loads, so buttons and tracking are not silently breaking mid-session.
- Search basics are in place: Lighthouse scores SEO 92/100. The fundamentals Google looks for are present.
- Layout holds on phone and desktop: Nothing spilled past the edge at either 390px (phone) or 1366px (desktop), so the structure is responsive.

## Issues, most damaging first

### 1. [HIGH] A floating widget is covering a clickable element
Category: Conversion, Accessibility (WCAG)
Why it matters: 8 clickable elements are sitting underneath a fixed overlay (div.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__body over button), so a visitor who tries to tap them hits the widget on top instead. The element is there and looks fine in a preview, it just can't be reached. Move the floating widget to a clear corner, lower its z-index, or add spacing so it never overlaps your links and buttons.
Exact elements found: button under div.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__body, a "SHOP NOW" under p.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__subtitle, a "Cookie Policy" under div.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__body, a "Privacy Policy" under a.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__ctaBtn, a "Aerthom - Go to homepage" under div.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__topAcce, a "Follow us on Instagram" under div.WelcomePopup-module__EK4S4q__body

### 2. [HIGH] Add quotations so AI engines cite this page
Category: AI Search, SEO
Why it matters: Generative engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews) lift sourced, attributed quotes almost verbatim, and quotations are the single strongest citation lever (studies measure roughly +41%). Add 1-2 attributed expert quotes or blockquotes to the pages below. (Found across a sample of 8 pages from your sitemap, a partial crawl rather than your full site.)

### 3. [HIGH] Broken internal links
Category: SEO, Conversion
Why it matters: 3 internal link targets returned an error (404/410/5xx) or did not respond. Broken links waste crawl budget, frustrate visitors, and leak ranking signal. (Found across a sample of 8 pages from your sitemap, a partial crawl rather than your full site.)
Exact examples found: https://aerthom.com/terms (404), https://aerthom.com/privacy (404), https://aerthom.com/cookie-policy (404)

### 4. [HIGH] Some text is low-contrast and hard to read
Category: Accessibility (WCAG)
Why it matters: Text that does not stand out enough from its background is hard to read for many visitors, and fails accessibility guidelines Google checks.

### 5. [MEDIUM] Tiny buttons are hard to tap on mobile
Affects: mobile only
Category: Accessibility (WCAG), Conversion
Why it matters: 13 of 43 tappable items on this page (30%) measure under 24 pixels on their shorter side, below the WCAG minimum, and well under the 44 pixels Apple and Google recommend for reliable tapping, and the same ones came up small on every test load. When visitors can't hit what they expect to, they get frustrated and many of them leave instead of trying again.
Exact elements found: button 20x20 "Search", button 20x20 "Cart", button 18x18 "Open menu", a 136x24 "LEARN OUR STORY", a 68x22 "Our Story", a 83x22 "Bulk Orders", a 77x22 "Contact us", a 152x22 "Shipping and Returns"

### 6. [LOW] Unused JavaScript is being downloaded
Category: Performance
Why it matters: Code that never runs on this page still costs download and parse time on every visit. Splitting or removing it speeds up load. Lighthouse measured: Est savings of 22 KiB.

### 7. [LOW] Unused CSS is being downloaded
Category: Performance
Why it matters: Style rules that this page never uses still block rendering while they download. Trimming them frees the paint path. Lighthouse measured: Est savings of 17 KiB.

### 8. [LOW] The page is heavy to download
Category: Performance
Why it matters: Total page weight is high. On a phone with patchy data, that is extra seconds of blank screen before the page is usable. Lighthouse measured: Total size was 3,438 KiB.

### 9. [LOW] No third-party analytics tag detected
Category: Tracking
Why it matters: No Google Analytics, GA4, or other third-party analytics tag was found in the page. If you rely only on platform or server-side analytics that is fine; but if not, a third-party tag is the baseline way to see how many visitors arrive, where they come from, and what converts. First-party or server-side analytics are not detectable from the outside, so this may already be handled.

### 10. [LOW] Some links do not describe where they go
Category: Accessibility (WCAG), Conversion
Why it matters: Links like "click here" or "read more" tell screen-reader users and search engines nothing about the destination. Lighthouse measured: 1 link found.

## How to respond
Work through the issues in order. For each one give me the specific change that fixes it: real code or real copy, not advice. Keep changes minimal and match the existing style of the site.
Where several issues share one root cause, say so and fix it once rather than patching each symptom.
If an issue cannot be fixed without seeing more of the code, say exactly which file or selector you need instead of guessing.
