Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 340 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (340 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 477 KiBAbout 477 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 355 KiB20 images could be 355 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and bestfreecdn.com and others), adding 765 KiB and 530 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 38 KiBAbout 38 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s
15.8 sYour largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 16.1 s
16.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 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.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
3 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.07
0.07The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.07, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s
1.4 sThe first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 101 ms
101 msScripts block the page for only 101 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 235 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 235 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (59), scripts 915 KiB (70) and other files 747 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (424 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.12 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.12 g of CO₂e: 134.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (6 elements)
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 64 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 12 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “BEACHBELLS | Portable Kettlebells for Travel, Home & Outdoor Workouts”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “Beachbells — Portable Kettlebells For Travellers …” and “Beachbells — Portable Kettlebells For Travellers …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (165 characters)
Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
11 links crawlers can't follow
11 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
55 internal links, 34 external
The homepage links to 55 pages on beachbells.com and 34 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://beachbells.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://beachbells.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (1,199 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://beachbells.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://beachbells.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://beachbells.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://beachbells.com/collections/portable-fitness-equipment and https://beachbells.com/collections/portable-kettlebells all use the title “Portable Fitness Equipment | Travel Workouts Anywhere | Beachbells – …”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
https://beachbells.com/pages/400-happy-customers, https://beachbells.com/blogs/wods, https://beachbells.com/apps/17TRACK, https://beachbells.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://beachbells.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://beachbells.com/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://beachbells.com/collections/portable-fitness-equipment and https://beachbells.com/collections/portable-kettlebells use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://beachbells.com/apps/17TRACK, whose canonical is https://beachbells.com/apps/17track. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
https://beachbells.com/apps/17TRACK and https://beachbells.com/customer_authentication/redirect 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 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
