Speed

10 to fix77
  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Yotpo and omnisnippet1.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 663 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    529 KiB

    About 529 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    472 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (472 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    333 KiB

    21 images could be 333 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 237 ms

    237 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 237 ms of main-thread work and 741 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,333 HTML elements

    The page has 2,333 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 28 ms

    28 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 28 ms of main-thread work and 496 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix76
  • Time to Interactive: 18.1 s

    18.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Your largest element takes 4.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • 64 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 156 ms

    156 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 156 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 302 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 302 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (72), scripts 1.3 MB (70) and other files 829 KiB (107). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (408 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (167 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.15 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8489
  • Active <area> elements must have alternative text (2 elements)

    Active <area> elements must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 37 tap targets too small

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

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 58 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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.

  • 48 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9292

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 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 (1,441 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

Best practices

5 to fixGoogle 7369
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0870/5628/5987/files/shop_cat's_claw-icon.svg.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 866 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 866 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 39 calls to action

    The homepage has 39 calls to action, for example “Shop All Kratom”, “Shop All Mushrooms” and “Shop All Cat's Claw”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 golddragonkratom.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Rebuy Personalization Engine · Yotpo Product Reviews · Yotpo Loyalty Rewards · Omnisend · amazonaws.com · rebuyengine.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
