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 · 980 KiBAbout 980 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.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.2 s
A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Facebook and others), adding 25.6 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 191 ms
191 msShopify costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 23.7 MB 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
950 ms · 374 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (374 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 551 ms
551 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 551 ms of main-thread work and 813 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
430 ms · 106 KiBAbout 106 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 430 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
387 KiB11 images could be 387 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 43 KiB43 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 291 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,227 HTML elements
The page has 2,227 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
rechargecdn.com adds 60 ms
60 msrechargecdn.com costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 296 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 47 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 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.

Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.3 s
14.3 sYour largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 23.4 s
23.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 630 ms
630 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 630 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 204 ms to 203 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 26.5 MB in 235 requests
26.5 MBYour homepage downloads 26.5 MB in 235 requests on a phone: media 22.9 MB (3), scripts 2.5 MB (113) and images 594 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
49 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Flowpure_CE_Compliance_Certificate.png at 540 px wide, shown at 79 px. Resized copies would save about 49 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (206 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 7.5 g of CO₂ per visit
7.50 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.50 g of CO₂e: 900.1 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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
19 text elements with low contrast
19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “FlowPure Water Filtration”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Flowpure”, “The easiest fix to a problem hiding in every home.” and “Clean water, made part of your everyday.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (307 characters)
Your meta description is 307 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
37 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on flowpure.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://flowpure.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.
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://flowpure.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (752 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
/collections/black-friday, /products/bath-filter, /collections/water-filter-bottles, /collections/stainless-steel-filters, /products/flowpure-shower-filter-cartridger and /collections/filter-bottle-cartridges and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/black-friday, whose canonical is /collections/all-filters. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
5 pages without an H1
/collections/water-filter-bottles, /collections/water-filters, /collections/stainless-steel-filters, /collections/filter-bottle-cartridges and /collections/adapters have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 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.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
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
4 small tap targets
4 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (flowpure.com).
Valid certificate (63 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for flowpure.com and is valid for another 63 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://flowpure.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 34 links work
All 34 links checked from your homepage (31 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
flowpure.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.
DNSSEC is off
flowpure.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 20 years old
20 yearsflowpure.com was registered in Oct 2006 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2027
flowpure.com is registered until Oct 2027.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 1,082 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,082 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Start shopping”, “Try FlowPure today” and “Contact Us”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
flowpure.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
Email authentication score: 45/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.privateemail.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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
18Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (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.
39 other companies contacted
