Speed

12 to fix63
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 555 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (555 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.0 s · 497 KiB

    About 497 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, Yotpo and Clarity and others), adding 1.3 MB and 952 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • alia-prod.com adds 357 ms

    357 ms

    alia-prod.com costs a phone 357 ms of main-thread work and 343 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

    300 ms · 60 KiB

    2 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 270 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,559 HTML elements

    The page has 1,559 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 55 ms

    55 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 55 ms of main-thread work and 368 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

    30 ms · 86 KiB

    About 86 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    30 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    Your largest element takes 14.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.4 s

    15.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 11 images without width and height

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

  • 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 52 ms

    52 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 52 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 267 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 267 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (74), other files 726 KiB (110) and images 389 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.85 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 101.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 20 images without alt text

    20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 48 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: 48 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8589
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “shop before December 11”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Corporation, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Corporation: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("https:www.leafly.com/brands/five")”.

  • 11 links crawlers can't follow

    11 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 68 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 68 pages on fivegummies.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “We’ve got delicious edibles that pack a punch (depending on what you prefer), all tied up with a “conveniently delivere…”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “five™ Edibles | Buy Gummies, Oil, and More – Five”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://fivegummies.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://fivegummies.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://fivegummies.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (839 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://fivegummies.com/collections/gummies, https://fivegummies.com/collections/daily-dose, https://fivegummies.com/pages/about-us and https://fivegummies.com/pages/faq have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 53 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 53 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 fivegummies.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
