getsteripod.com website review

About 412 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.

9 images could be 292 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and Bazaarvoice and others), adding 8.8 MB and 615 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Shopify costs a phone 24 ms of main-thread work and 8.1 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.

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (134 KiB).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 452 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.

About 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

Your largest element takes 12.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to personalize content and ads, provide soci…”.

The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 241 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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.

Your homepage downloads 15.7 MB in 168 requests on a phone: media 13.3 MB (1), scripts 1,004 KiB (36) and other files 775 KiB (91). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.44 g of CO₂e: 533.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 23 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

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

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 8 characters: “Steripod”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 41 pages on getsteripod.com and 11 external pages.

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.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

https://getsteripod.com/pages/privacy, https://getsteripod.com/pages/terms-of-use, https://getsteripod.com/collections/all, https://getsteripod.com/pages/about-us, https://getsteripod.com/pages/faq and https://getsteripod.com/pages/cookies and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://getsteripod.com/collections/frontpage/products/steripod-clip-on-toothbrush-protector, whose canonical is https://getsteripod.com/products/steripod-clip-on-toothbrush-protector. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://getsteripod.com/collections/all, https://getsteripod.com/pages/about-us and https://getsteripod.com/pages/faq have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://getsteripod.com/pages/privacy, https://getsteripod.com/pages/terms-of-use, https://getsteripod.com/pages/cookies and https://getsteripod.com/pages/cookie-list have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

16 of 40 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

The homepage has only about 112 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
