Speed
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 121 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (121 KiB).
Improve image delivery
513 KiB10 images could be 513 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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 · 19 KiBAbout 19 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.
Klaviyo adds 177 ms
177 msKlaviyo costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.
1,908 HTML elements
The page has 1,908 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, openai.com and fixvitals.com and others), adding 484 KiB and 226 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 82 KiBAbout 82 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 111 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
2 checks passed

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 130 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 130 requests on a phone: images 828 KiB (36), scripts 686 KiB (58) and fonts 424 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
4 buttons without a name
4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
25 tap targets too small
25 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
55 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
306 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 306 pages on biocyte.com and 6 external pages.

AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 6 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
2 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,921 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (28 KiB, 218 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /en/collections/nos-best-sellers, whose canonical is /en/collections/our-best-sellers. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
