eargo.com website review

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (316 KiB).

Google Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 420 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.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 152 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

About 104 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 420 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.21 g of CO₂e: 24.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://eargo.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

There is no robots.txt at eargo.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 6 pages on eargo.com and 1 external page.

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.

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.

/guides has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

eargo.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

eargo.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.

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

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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 analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,547 words of visible text.

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.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
