Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.7 s · 618 KiBAbout 618 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.7 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 372 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (372 KiB).
6,505 HTML elements
The page has 6,505 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. 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 (Yotpo, POWr and Shopify and others), adding 1.5 MB and 749 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 72 KiBAbout 72 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Yotpo adds 230 ms
230 msYotpo costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 603 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 111 ms
111 msShopify costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 110 ms
110 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 110 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 106 KiB6 images could be 106 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.
Minify JavaScript
180 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
38 KiB38 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 280 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 280 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (77), images 923 KiB (34) and other files 851 KiB (124). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (72 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (128 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 119.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h3 → h6), 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. (17 elements).

53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (77 characters)
Your title is 77 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Online Pharmacy Ireland | PSI Registered & Trusted – Chemco – Chemco Pharmacy”.
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 (287 characters)
Your meta description is 287 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
625 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 625 pages on chemcopharmacy.com and 11 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.chemcopharmacy.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://www.chemcopharmacy.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 (2,208 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.chemcopharmacy.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://www.chemcopharmacy.com/collections/back-muscle-pain and https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/collections/joint-arthritis-pain all use the title “Back & Muscle Pain Relief | Muscle Aches & Strains | Chemco Pharmacy”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/collections/back-muscle-pain and https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/collections/joint-arthritis-pain use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://www.chemcopharmacy.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
