Speed

9 to fix54
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.0 s · 332 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (332 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 274 KiB

    About 274 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 93). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (helpcenterapp.com, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 861 KiB and 661 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 89 KiB

    1 image could be 89 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 37 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • helpcenterapp.com adds 274 ms

    274 ms

    helpcenterapp.com costs a phone 274 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 239 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    64 KiB

    About 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 93 but mobile only 54. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “80,000+ Happy Moms and Babies Expertly Picked Curated Essen…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 229 ms

    229 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 229 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 576 ms

    576 ms

    Real visitors wait 576 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% faster for real visitors

    -30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 164 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 164 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (86), other files 650 KiB (51) and fonts 195 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (159 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 77.9 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 are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8791
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • <marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used (1 element)

    <marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 4 images without alt text

    4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 40 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 40 pages on 123babybox.com and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Our infant and baby subscription box delivers award winning brain building toys and essentials to your door. What are y…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Expertly Picked Curated Essentials Delivered Monthly”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “123 Baby Box: Monthly Infant And Baby Subscription Box”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://123babybox.com/.

  • 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://123babybox.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

3 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 (1,000 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 10 pages without a meta description

    /pages/curate-your-babys-box, /pages/copy-of-subscription, /pages/get-started, /blogs/news, /blogs/reviews and /pages/contact-us-1 and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    /pages/curate-your-babys-box, /pages/resources, /pages/about-us, /pages/get-started, /pages/our-partners and /blogs/news and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 5 pages with very little text

    /pages/curate-your-babys-box, /pages/our-partners, /pages/contact-us-1, /pages/track-order and /pages/shipping-and-policy have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

    3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://123babybox.com/account.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (123babybox.com).

  • Valid certificate (68 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for 123babybox.com and is valid for another 68 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://123babybox.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 31 links work

    All 31 links checked from your homepage (29 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 31 days

    123babybox.com is registered until Nov 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    123babybox.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    123babybox.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 5 years old

    5 years

    123babybox.com was registered in Nov 2020 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • About 600 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 600 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GET STARTED”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Get Started”, “Get started” and “Shop Now”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 20 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and 5 trust badges.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 123babybox.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
