getsoul.com website review

36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (724 KiB).

About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

Signyfyd costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 240 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 9.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,228 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and negate.io and others), adding 7.2 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.

21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 783 ms of main-thread work and 1,008 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 689 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Shopify costs a phone 110 ms of main-thread work and 5.3 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.

negate.io costs a phone 432 ms of main-thread work and 40 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.

7 images could be 194 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

About 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 18.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Visually, the page fills in at 15.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 35.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 4.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 142 ms to 162 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 39.4 MB in 461 requests on a phone: media 33.3 MB (19), scripts 3.5 MB (173) and images 1.1 MB (45). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example hempban-hero-badge.webp at 600 px wide, shown at 136 px. Resized copies would save about 68 KiB.

3 images (398 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.18 g of CO₂e: 1341.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Out of Office stopsshipping December 11November 8…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 236 pages on getsoul.com and 22 external pages.

/policies/shipping-policy, /collections/low-dose-thc and /collections/medium-dose-thc have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/products/out-of-office-gummies and /products/out-of-office-mood-thc-gummies use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

/products/out-of-office-gummies and /products/out-of-office-drink have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 62 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

getsoul.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.

getsoul.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

The homepage carries about 1,026 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be getsoul.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity and 3 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.

Opening the homepage sets 41 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 65 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
