Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
357 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (357 KiB).
Document request latency
22 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Adobe TypeKit), adding 39 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

Mobile performance score: 91
91/100Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.1 s
A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 44 ms
44 msYour server sent the HTML in 44 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest content (LCP) got 67% slower for real visitors
+67%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.6 s
4.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sYour largest element takes 2.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “After a Great 10 years, BloomBox is now closed.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 82 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Time to Interactive: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 2.5 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.13 g of CO₂e: 15.3 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: 461 KiB in 6 requests
461 KiBYour homepage downloads 461 KiB in 6 requests on a phone: images 390 KiB (1), fonts 37 KiB (2) and HTML 33 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
18 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 19 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 18 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (8 characters)
Your title is only 8 characters: “BloomBox”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://getblooming.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at getblooming.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 19 words
The homepage has only about 19 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 getblooming.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
