Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 483 KiBAbout 483 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 466 KiB7 images could be 466 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 101 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (101 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Judge.me and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 310 ms of main-thread time.
rebuyengine.com adds 229 ms
229 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 701 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.
Shopify adds 29 ms
29 msShopify costs a phone 29 ms of main-thread work and 367 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.
Reduce unused CSS
280 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 114 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).
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
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 852 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.2 s
14.2 sYour largest element takes 14.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “CHRISTMAS IS COMING”.
Time to Interactive: 14.3 s
14.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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 1.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Total Blocking Time: 86 ms
86 msScripts block the page for only 86 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 207 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 207 requests on a phone: scripts 981 KiB (56), images 932 KiB (35) and other files 774 KiB (93). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
49 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 10262026-gingerbreadcookies-1.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 49 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (174 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.87 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), 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. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 3 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 (212 characters)
Your meta description is 212 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
63 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 63 pages on choczero.com and 5 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “CHOCZERO BEST SELLERS”.
Title: 65 characters
Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “ChocZero: Sugar Free Chocolate. No Sugar Alcohols. Keto Friendly.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.choczero.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.choczero.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.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (579 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
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 /collections/sugar-free-keto-toppings, whose canonical is /collections/sugar-free-syrup. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
11 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

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

Best practices
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.
2 low-resolution images
2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
32 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (choczero.com).
Valid certificate (48 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for choczero.com and is valid for another 48 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://choczero.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 43 links work
All 43 links checked from your homepage (38 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
choczero.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 11 years old
11 yearschoczero.com was registered in Jun 2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for choczero.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Jun 2027
choczero.com is registered until Jun 2027.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 542 words of copy
The homepage carries about 542 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP CHRISTMAS” and “ALL PRODUCTS SHOP NOW”.
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Contact Us” and “Shop Christmas”.
9 short forms
9 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and TikTok Pixel.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be choczero.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
SPF does not block other senders (?all)
Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com ?all”.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
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.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo, Microsoft Clarity and TikTok Pixel (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 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.
25 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 25 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
