Speed

11 to fix45
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.6 s · 16.6 MB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16.6 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    3.8 s · 11.4 MB

    13 images could be 11.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 606 KiB

    About 606 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    900 ms · 112 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 112 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and flodesk.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 781 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 85 KiB

    About 85 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 519 ms

    519 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 519 ms of main-thread work and 701 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,911 HTML elements

    The page has 1,911 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 220 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.33

    0.33

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.33 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 100.1 s

    100.1 s

    Your largest element takes 100.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 55.9 s

    55.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 55.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 113.6 s

    113.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 113.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.146

    0.146

    The layout shifts by 0.146 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 271 ms

    271 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 271 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 620 ms

    620 ms

    Real visitors wait 620 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 61% faster for real visitors

    -61%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 528 ms to 209 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 38.8 MB in 212 requests

    38.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 38.8 MB in 212 requests on a phone: images 28.6 MB (35), media 7.0 MB (14) and scripts 2.2 MB (66). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    465 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1joMimvR9VNavGiU8S0mEJOUfDtNFZukx.webp at 2,000 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 465 KiB.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (388 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 11.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    11.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.00 g of CO₂e: 1319.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9799
  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

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

1 checks passed
  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 0 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10089
  • No structured data

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

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 102 characters

    Your meta description is 102 characters: “Discover Barsys 360, Shaker Pro and Coaster 2.0, explore cocktail recipes, and meet the Barsys AI app.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Your bag. Coming with you.”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Barsys — Smart Cocktail Makers, Shakers & Coasters”.

  • 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://barsys.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    3%

    A phone browser shows 650 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 19. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (195 KiB, 1,570 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8891
  • 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”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 20 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://barsys.io goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (barsys.com).

  • Valid certificate (39 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR3 verifies for barsys.io and is valid for another 39 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://barsys.io redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 1 links work

    All 1 link checked from your homepage (1 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    barsys.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    barsys.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    barsys.com was registered in Jul 1999 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    barsys.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix40
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 650 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 650 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Barsys”.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    barsys.io has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
