Speed

8 to fix68
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 340 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (340 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 477 KiB

    About 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

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 355 KiB

    20 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 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 38 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    14 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix65
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, 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

    0.07

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.07, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 101 ms

    101 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 101 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 235 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

13 to fixGoogle 7583
  • 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).

1 checks passed
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9277
  • 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

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 (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

7 to fix55
  • 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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 15 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 “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://d3hw6dc1ow8pp2.cloudfront.net/styles/main.min.css' from origin 'https://beachbells…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • About 1,010 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,010 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 19 calls to action

    The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “TRACK MY ORDER” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block, a star rating and “500+ customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • 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

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 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.

  • 39 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 39 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 beachbells.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
