Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 1.1 MB12 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. 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 (Bigcommerce, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 2.4 MB and 702 ms of main-thread time.
Bigcommerce adds 207 ms
207 msBigcommerce costs a phone 207 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 MB 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
257 KiBAbout 257 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 237 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
219 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (219 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.5 s
A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 777 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 9.6 s
9.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.323
0.323The layout shifts by 0.323 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Total Blocking Time: 282 ms
282 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 282 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
13 images without width and height
13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 2.4 s
2.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 100 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 100 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (43), scripts 834 KiB (39) and fonts 100 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (575 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
4 images far larger than shown
146 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example NEW---Combined-Freeze-Dried.jpg at 1,536 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 146 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (247 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.70 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “Activa Custom Pet Food”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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 (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://activacustompetfood.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
112 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 112 pages on activacustompetfood.com and 6 external pages.
2 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://activacustompetfood.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (861 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
/pet-food, /dog, /dog/grain-free, /dog/no-corn, /dog/original and /pet-food/dog/freeze-dried and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
