Speed

10 to fix68
  • 3,946 HTML elements

    The page has 3,946 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    850 ms · 319 KiB

    20 images could be 319 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 669 KiB

    About 669 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, vitals.app and tidio.co and others), adding 1.7 MB and 496 ms of main-thread time.

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 230 ms

    230 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 608 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.

  • vitals.app adds 187 ms

    187 ms

    vitals.app costs a phone 187 ms of main-thread work and 517 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.

  • tidio.co adds 63 ms

    63 ms

    tidio.co costs a phone 63 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 59 KiB

    About 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    120 KiB

    120 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    86 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (86 KiB).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    28 KiB

    28 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Your largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 802 ms

    802 ms

    Real visitors wait 802 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

8 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 111 ms

    111 ms

    Real visitors wait 111 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.10

    0.10

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.10 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% faster for real visitors

    -18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 108 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.1

    0.1

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 135 ms

    135 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 135 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 278 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 278 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (75), images 1.2 MB (55) and other files 858 KiB (130). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (238 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (79 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.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.26 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 150.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8188
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    56 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    6 dropdowns have no label.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (117 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 117 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 63 form fields without a label

    63 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 46 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 125 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 10 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8583
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://aromatools.com/search?q={search_term_string}")”.

  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 361 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 361 pages on aromatools.com and 14 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “With the right tools it's simple to properly share and use essential oils. AromaTools offers essential oil education re…”.

  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “AromaTools | Essential Oil Tools & Resources”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://aromatools.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://aromatools.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,612 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://aromatools.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://aromatools.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://aromatools.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://aromatools.com/policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    https://aromatools.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://aromatools.com/collections/literature, https://aromatools.com/collections/books, https://aromatools.com/collections/booklets, https://aromatools.com/collections/brochures-handouts and https://aromatools.com/collections/charts and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 152 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    93 of 99 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 1,051 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,051 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop by Category”, “Sign Up” and “Contact Us”.

  • 36 short forms

    36 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at aromatools.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
