Speed
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 315 KiB7 images could be 315 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 220 ms
220 msShopify costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 350 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.
1,608 HTML elements
The page has 1,608 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, openai.com and shop.app), adding 437 KiB and 274 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 41 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (41 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 231 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 231 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (26), other files 728 KiB (84) and scripts 517 KiB (101). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
bugaboo-dragonfly-complete-stroller-lifestyle-urban-bassinet is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
6 images in older formats
6 images (290 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.50 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.50 g of CO₂e: 180.2 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
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 106 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.babyenroute.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 3 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
3 checks passed
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,518 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.babyenroute.com/llms.txt (8 KiB, 52 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.babyenroute.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.babyenroute.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.babyenroute.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.babyenroute.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

43 of 45 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
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 426 words of copy
The homepage carries about 426 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start your baby registry”.
14 calls to action

3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 3 mores (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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 babyenroute.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 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
