Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Yotpo and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.3 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 823 KiB33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (823 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 706 ms
706 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 706 ms of main-thread work and 673 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
350 ms · 106 KiB8 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 350 ms faster on a phone.
Hotjar adds 317 ms
317 msHotjar costs a phone 317 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.
Yotpo adds 201 ms
201 msYotpo costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 427 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.
1,515 HTML elements
The page has 1,515 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 115 ms
115 msKlaviyo costs a phone 115 ms of main-thread work and 307 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
150 ms · 224 KiBAbout 224 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
85 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 85 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
28 KiB28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 14 ms
14 msYour server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 29.1 s
29.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 29.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 2.6 s
2.6 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.0 s
7.0 sYour largest element takes 7.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Lo Sugar. Hi Electrolytes. Great Taste! Non GMO | No Additi…”.
Speed Index: 10.3 s
10.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sThe first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
26 images without width and height
26 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.021
0.021The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 41.0 MB in 340 requests
41.0 MBYour homepage downloads 41.0 MB in 340 requests on a phone: media 36.2 MB (4), scripts 2.7 MB (121) and other files 814 KiB (127). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
190 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 3dgifmaker34627.gif at 349 px wide, shown at 60 px. Resized copies would save about 190 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (356 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (98 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 11.6 g of CO₂ per visit
11.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.63 g of CO₂e: 1395.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
26 images without alt text
26 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have 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.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “Greater Than Canada”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
10 links crawlers can't follow
10 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing 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.
22 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 22 pages on drinkgt.ca and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Lo Sugar.Hi Electrolytes.Great Taste!”.
Canonical URL set

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.drinkgt.ca/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 (488 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.drinkgt.ca/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.drinkgt.ca/products/trial-pack, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
https://www.drinkgt.ca/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.drinkgt.ca/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.drinkgt.ca/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.drinkgt.ca/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 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.
About 420 words of copy

6 checks passed
