Speed

5 to fix64
  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 646 KiB and 523 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 133 KiB

    About 133 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 185 KiB

    6 images could be 185 KiB 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 209 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 49 KiB

    About 49 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 45 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (45 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s 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: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 339 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 339 requests on a phone: other files 1.4 MB (244), scripts 655 KiB (69) and fonts 593 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    44 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example home-packaging-pair-dark-20260916.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 228 px. Resized copies would save about 44 KiB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (216 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.85 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 101.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9696
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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 links without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • No structured data

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

  • 41 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 41 pages on balmbare.com and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 124 characters

    Your meta description is 124 characters: “Shop Balmbare supplements for hair, gut and joint support, including Bloom Gummies, Hair Revive Gummies and Revive Plus…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “A better daily routine, made simple.”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Balmbare | Hair, Gut & Joint Support Supplements – Balmve”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://balmve.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://balmve.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 (530 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

5 to fix70
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    https://balmve.com/collections/all and https://balmve.com/products/revive-plus-mix are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    https://balmve.com/pages/contact and https://balmve.com/apps/parcelpanel all use the title “Balmve Account”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 11 pages without a meta description

    https://balmve.com/pages/contact, https://balmve.com/a/loop_subscriptions/customer, https://balmve.com/pages/balmbare-creators, https://balmve.com/collections/all, https://balmve.com/pages/peptide-serum-balmve and https://balmve.com/pages/hair-growth-oil-balmve and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://balmve.com/pages/more-than-probiotics-general, whose canonical is https://balmve.com/pages/mtp33. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://balmve.com/a/loop_subscriptions/customer and https://balmve.com/products/revive-plus-mix 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 and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Security, domain, email and software versions
