5.8 s
6.8 s
7.8 s
ezwhelp.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,009 HTML elements
The page has 3,009 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 912 KiB11 images could be 912 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.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Klaviyo adds 224 ms
224 msKlaviyo costs a phone 224 ms of main-thread work and 322 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, shipinsure.io and Shopify and others), adding 852 KiB and 350 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 119 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
106 KiBAbout 106 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
83 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (83 KiB).
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.

Server response: 20 ms
20 msYour server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Real-user CLS: 0.15
0.15For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.15 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 37% slower for real visitors
+37%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 152 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 236 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 236 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (32), other files 834 KiB (99) and scripts 657 KiB (87). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Gemini_Generated_Image_2vih2c2vih2c2vih_resized_small_e2b15e 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).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (29 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 130.1 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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 80 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
56 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 56 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
/collections/small-breed-up-to-16-lbs, /collections/medium-breed-16-to-40-lbs, /collections/large-breed-40-to-90-lbs, /collections/xl-breed-90-plus-lbs and /collections/health-testing-kits have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

ezwhelp.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

2 checks passed

18 yearsezwhelp.com was registered in Jan 2008 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted

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