Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 2.5 MB8 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 143 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (143 KiB).
Shopify adds 204 ms
204 msShopify costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 513 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Yotpo and Klaviyo and others), adding 898 KiB and 352 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
240 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 27 KiBPolyfills 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.
Reduce unused CSS
90 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 594 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s
7.5 sYour 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 “Mobile Image”.
Speed Index: 6.3 s
6.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.5 s
7.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 100 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Untitled_design_2_-min_600x400.gif weighs 9.3 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 4.7 MB in 302 requests
4.7 MBYour homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 302 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (15), scripts 849 KiB (132) and other files 814 KiB (121). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (9.3 MB) 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
1.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.33 g of CO₂e: 159.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 1 more 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 (8 characters)
Your title is only 8 characters: “BAKBLADE”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
5 links crawlers can't follow
5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
44 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 44 pages on bakblade.com and 0 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://bakblade.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://bakblade.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://bakblade.com/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.
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.
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 (550 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://bakblade.com/collections/all and https://bakblade.com/pages/disclaimer have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
3 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 3 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
13 small tap targets
13 of 26 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: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
About 427 words of copy
The homepage carries about 427 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “QUICK START GUIDE”, “SHOP NOW” and “Contact Us”.
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: 18 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 1 trust badge.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel (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.
17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 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.
21 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 21 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 bakblade.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 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Inbox · Yotpo Product Reviews · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Pagefly Ai Page Builder · Loop Returns · Selleasy
Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
