Render-blocking requests
1.4 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Reduce unused CSS
460 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
144 KiB4 images could be 144 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (WordPress, WordPress Site Stats and Mailchimp and others), adding 194 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

96/100Your mobile performance score is 96. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.2 s

Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 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.

Images and page weight
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.15 g of CO₂e: 17.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 526 KiB in 36 requests
526 KiBYour homepage downloads 526 KiB in 36 requests on a phone: images 182 KiB (6), scripts 121 KiB (18) and stylesheets 95 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
9 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 12 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 9 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://gentleharmonies.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.
2 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.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://gentleharmonies.com/birth-and-postpartum and https://gentleharmonies.com/contact have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 5 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
Only about 33 words
The homepage has only about 33 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
2 checks passed

2 short forms
2 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
