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
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 159 KiB6 images could be 159 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 68 KiBAbout 68 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,868 HTML elements
The page has 1,868 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Google Fonts and others), adding 342 KiB and 192 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 27 KiBAbout 27 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.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 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).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 328 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 25 ms
25 msScripts block the page for only 25 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 130 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 130 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (67), scripts 448 KiB (45) and other files 72 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
13 images in older formats
13 images (600 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.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.70 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 83.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 63 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Article, Organization, Person and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “Article: mainEntityOfPage is not an absolute URL ("#webpage")”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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://ejuicedirect.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (1 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
75 of 91 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (ejuicedirect.com).
Valid certificate (38 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for ejuicedirect.com and is valid for another 38 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://ejuicedirect.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 40 links work
All 40 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
ejuicedirect.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.
DNSSEC is off
ejuicedirect.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 15 years old

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 900 words of copy
The homepage carries about 900 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Return to shop”, “Shop All Brands” and “Contact”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
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: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.ejuicedirect.com ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
