Speed

13 to fix33
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your 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 MB

    About 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 KiB

    33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (823 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 706 ms

    706 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    8 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 ms

    Hotjar 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 ms

    Yotpo 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 ms

    Klaviyo 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 85 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    28 KiB

    28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix37
  • Time to Interactive: 29.1 s

    29.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 29.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Scripts 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 s

    Your 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The 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

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 41.0 MB in 340 requests

    41.0 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

9 to fixGoogle 7588
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 6980
  • 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

    The canonical URL is https://www.drinkgt.ca/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: SiteNavigationElement, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.drinkgt.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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

5 to fix32
  • 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.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7776
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://expogrowth.in/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_3465-1.jpg.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'classList')”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    15 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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

    The homepage carries about 420 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” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Shop” and “Shop Now”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and TikTok Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email 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

1 to fix
  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 5 mores (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.

  • 35 cookies set on arrival

    35

    Opening the homepage sets 35 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 51 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 51 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 drinkgt.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
