Speed

4 to fix77
  • 3,153 HTML elements

    The page has 3,153 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    430 ms · 113 KiB

    About 113 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 430 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 51 KiB

    2 images could be 51 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and powl.io and others), adding 317 KiB and 161 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 488 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix69
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.5 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 76 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 287 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 287 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (176), images 531 KiB (41) and scripts 415 KiB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9796
  • 21 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 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: 49 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • Title is long (83 characters)

    Your title is 83 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Buy Vape Juice & Disposables | Only The Best Vape Products | Low Price – eLiquid.co”.

  • Meta description is long (307 characters)

    Your meta description is 307 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 112 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 112 pages on eliquid.co and 1 external page.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://eliquid.co/.

  • Structured data in place

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,485 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://eliquid.co/collections/60ml-eliquid, https://eliquid.co/collections/100ml-eliquid and https://eliquid.co/collections/120ml-eliquid have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • No social proof

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 415 words of copy

3 checks passed

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 eliquid.co, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
