cerefolin.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 s · 282 KiBAbout 282 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, userway.org and Google CDN and others), adding 773 KiB and 553 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 439 ms
439 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 439 ms of main-thread work and 486 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 80 KiB3 images could be 80 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. 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 210 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 21 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (21 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 234 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 234 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (172), scripts 864 KiB (44) and images 320 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.65 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 78.2 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
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (24 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (167 characters)
Your meta description is 167 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
36 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on cerefolin.com and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://cerefolin.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 (1,312 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 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /privacy-preferences, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
5 pages without a meta description
/policies/terms-of-service, /policies/privacy-policy, /a/faq, /policies/shipping-policy and /policies/refund-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://cerefolin.com/privacy-preferences (404).
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://cerefolin.com/account.
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 (cerefolin.com).
Valid certificate (80 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for cerefolin.com and is valid for another 80 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://cerefolin.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
cerefolin.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
cerefolin.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 23 years old
23 yearscerefolin.com was registered in Oct 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2033
cerefolin.com is registered until Oct 2033.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,228 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,228 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Cerefolin Brain Wellness®”.
9 calls to action

2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
cerefolin.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
Email authentication score: 50/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Ketch) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
