Speed

3 to fix88
  • Mobile performance score: 88

    88/100

    Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Shopify adds 19 ms

    19 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 19 ms of main-thread work and 406 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    250 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, addons.business and Shopify and others), adding 606 KiB and 144 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    174 KiB

    5 images could be 174 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    32 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 365 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix95
  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Your largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Feel Fuller. Eat Less. Lose Weight Simply.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 176 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 176 requests on a phone: other files 767 KiB (100), images 534 KiB (9) and scripts 278 KiB (44). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9690
  • Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)

    Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical 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.

  • 35 text elements with low contrast

    35 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10095
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 47 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 47 pages on cookiediet.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Explore Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet: convenient, portion-controlled cookies, starter kits, monthly supplies and value pack…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Feel Fuller. Eat Less.Lose Weight Simply.”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Cookie Diet USA | Dr. Siegal’s Weight Loss Cookies”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cookiediet.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • 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.cookiediet.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.cookiediet.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix70
  • 2 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.cookiediet.com/pages/terms-and-conditions and https://www.cookiediet.com/pages/privacy-policy, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.cookiediet.com/pages/contact-us has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.cookiediet.com/pages/disclaimer took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 13 internal pages checked

    We fetched 13 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.

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix80
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • Only about 10 words

    The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • 17 calls to action

    The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop Now” and “SHOP COOKIE DIET →”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • 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.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at cookiediet.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
