Speed

11 to fix69
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, rise-ai.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 708 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    675 KiB

    10 images could be 675 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 411 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (411 KiB).

  • alia-prod.com adds 321 ms

    321 ms

    alia-prod.com costs a phone 321 ms of main-thread work and 384 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 55 KiB

    About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    289 KiB

    About 289 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 1,813 HTML elements

    The page has 1,813 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 41 ms

    41 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 41 ms of main-thread work and 529 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 177 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    46 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    33 KiB

    33 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify CSS

    13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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 JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 16.4 s

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 207 ms

    207 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 207 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

9 checks passed

    -19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 193 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 22% faster for real visitors

    -22%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.3 MB in 331 requests

    4.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 331 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (29), scripts 1.1 MB (145) and fonts 1.0 MB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    66 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example paradise-737580.jpg at 600 px wide, shown at 168 px. Resized copies would save about 66 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 144.7 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 load when needed

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9495
  • 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.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 21 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (200 characters)

    Your meta description is 200 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.

  • 164 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 164 pages on firebellytea.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Premium Whole Leaf Tea”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Firebelly Tea | Premium Loose Leaf Tea & Steepware”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.firebellytea.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.firebellytea.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,553 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.firebellytea.com/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://www.firebellytea.com/pages/travel-mug, https://www.firebellytea.com/pages/autowhisk and https://www.firebellytea.com/products/matcha-trio have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

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

  • No risk reducer

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

  • 52 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 52 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 firebellytea.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
