Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.0 s · 818 KiBAbout 818 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 27
27/100Your mobile performance score is 27. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 476 KiB12 images could be 476 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 153 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (153 KiB).
hcaptcha.com adds 690 ms
690 mshcaptcha.com costs a phone 690 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Shopify adds 242 ms
242 msShopify costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 67 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 67 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 263 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 194 ms
194 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 194 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.
1,713 HTML elements
The page has 1,713 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB in 382 requests
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 382 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (185), other files 853 KiB (126) and images 649 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
duck.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.36 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.36 g of CO₂e: 163.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
23 links without text
23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 50 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
55 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (198 characters)
Your meta description is 198 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (FAQPage, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected end of JSON input)”.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
139 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 139 pages on equiderma.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Equiderma: Superior Grooming for Horses, Dogs & Farm Animals”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.equiderma.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.equiderma.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,211 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/collections/equiderma/Equiderma and /collections/equiderma all use the title “Equiderma Grooming Collection”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
7 pages without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect, /policies/shipping-policy, /policies/refund-policy, /collections/daily-grooming, /collections/first-aid-skin-rescue and /collections/finishing-shine and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/collections/equiderma/Equiderma and /collections/equiderma use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/equiderma/Equiderma, whose canonical is /collections/equiderma. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/collections/show-off/Barn-Yard took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 55 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
