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
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 669 KiBAbout 669 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.0 s · 338 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (338 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, rebuyengine.com and Affirm and others), adding 1.9 MB and 831 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 171 KiBAbout 171 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 54 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
rebuyengine.com adds 174 ms
174 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 174 ms of main-thread work and 713 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.
ZenDesk adds 177 ms
177 msZenDesk costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 395 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.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 147 KiB5 images could be 147 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 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).
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 343 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 343 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (106), other files 1.1 MB (193) and images 651 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
166 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Home_Homepage_Image-100_1600x.jpg at 1,600 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 166 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (336 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.18 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 141.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“A diapering system for sustainability” and “Home Goods”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (175 characters)
Your meta description is 175 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
57 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 57 pages on esemblybaby.com and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 47 characters
Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “Best Organic Cloth Diaper System - Esembly Baby”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://esemblybaby.com/.

AI search readiness

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 (530 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 meta description
/collections/home-goods has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/pages/esemble-your-system has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/pages/esemble-your-system 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.

5 checks passed

esemblybaby.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.

Content and conversion
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.

Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication

Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
