Live view · interaction off

Speed

9 to fix44
  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    950 ms · 2.0 MB

    51 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 575 KiB

    About 575 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and gotolstoy.com and others), adding 2.0 MB and 707 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 390 ms

    390 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 390 ms of main-thread work and 479 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 346 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,795 HTML elements

    The page has 1,795 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 44 ms

    44 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 44 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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 · 47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 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

    185 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (185 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    16 KiB

    About 16 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Your largest element takes 9.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.1 s

    20.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 212 ms

    212 ms

    Real visitors wait 212 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 167 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 167 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 167 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (54), scripts 1.5 MB (80) and fonts 100 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    9uqgyc3r-img_K3V1bmoJY.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.30 g of CO₂e: 155.9 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

5 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 72 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “Bubble Goods”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No canonical URL

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

  • 147 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 147 pages on bubblegoods.com and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 112 characters

    Your meta description is 112 characters: “Snacks, pantry staples, and drinks from independent U.S. makers, shipped straight from the people who make them.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The best independent food brands, delivered.”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebPage.

  • 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://bubblegoods.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 (873 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 76 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 70 small tap targets

    70 of 159 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (51 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bubblegoods.com and is valid for another 51 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://bubblegoods.com 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 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    bubblegoods.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

    bubblegoods.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 7 years old

    7 years

    bubblegoods.com was registered in Mar 2019 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    bubblegoods.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 789 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 789 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP BEST SELLERS” and “SHOP ALL →”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop Stories”, “Shop Best Sellers” and “Shop All →”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and PostHog.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

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

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
