Speed

10 to fix54
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 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 4.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 444 KiB

    12 images could be 444 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 2.1 MB and 894 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 187 KiB

    About 187 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 418 ms

    418 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 418 ms of main-thread work and 992 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 89 KiB

    89 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 152 ms

    152 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 152 ms of main-thread work and 394 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    100 ms · 241 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (241 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.1 s

    22.1 s

    Your largest element takes 22.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.2 s

    22.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 194 ms

    194 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 194 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 235 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 235 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (91), images 905 KiB (23) and other files 813 KiB (100). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Blogs.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 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.6 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

5 to fixGoogle 9093
  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 7 links without text

    7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9284
  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Equine America USA - Equine supplements and external care products”.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 87 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 87 pages on equineamerica.com and 14 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “Our range of pioneered and specially tailored supplements are designed to achieve optimum equine, pet and human health …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Equine America USA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://equineamerica.com/.

  • 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://equineamerica.com/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 (604 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://equineamerica.com/collections/all-products and https://equineamerica.com/collections/all-products/Equine+horse all use the title “All Products – Equine America USA”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://equineamerica.com/collections/competition, https://equineamerica.com/collections/jointcare, https://equineamerica.com/collections/digestive, https://equineamerica.com/collections/respiratory, https://equineamerica.com/collections/electrolytes and https://equineamerica.com/collections/vitamins-minerals and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://equineamerica.com/collections/all-products and https://equineamerica.com/collections/all-products/Equine+horse use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://equineamerica.com/collections/all-products/Equine+horse, whose canonical is https://equineamerica.com/collections/all-products. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn-app.sealsubscriptions.com/shopify/public/css/style.css?shop=equine-america-usa…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed

    19 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • About 376 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 376 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW” and “10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER!”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “shop now” and “SHOP now”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 22 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • 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
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 1 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.

  • 32 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 32 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 equineamerica.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
