biddlebee.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 419 KiB17 images could be 419 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Google Fonts adds 1 ms
1 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 8 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 471 KiB and 60 ms of main-thread time.
Duplicated JavaScript
22 KiB22 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.2 s
8.2 sYour largest element takes 8.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 8.2 s
8.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.0 s
4.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 240 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 240 requests on a phone: images 926 KiB (37), other files 842 KiB (118) and fonts 459 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
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.
9 images without alt text
9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 checks passed
50 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: 50 passed and 2 failed. 1 more 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: “Biddlebee | Never Basic Women's Drinkware | Insulated Tumblers & Wine”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Cute finds.Tiny prices.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (236 characters)
Your meta description is 236 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
204 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 204 pages on biddlebee.com and 7 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://biddlebee.com/.
Structured data in place

AI search readiness
4 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 (909 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/clips-barettes and /collections/bracelets have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has 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 90 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 links through redirect chains
3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://biddlebee.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.
No Referrer-Policy

Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

biddlebee.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
biddlebee.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.
