Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 388 KiBAbout 388 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (TikTok, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and others), adding 5.0 MB and 703 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 202 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (202 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.1 MB13 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 55 ms
55 msShopify costs a phone 55 ms of main-thread work and 4.3 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 53 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 189 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
80 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 26.7 s
26.7 sYour largest element takes 26.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 28.0 s
28.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 28.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.2 s
7.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s
3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 277 ms
277 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 277 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.9 MB in 265 requests
6.9 MBYour homepage downloads 6.9 MB in 265 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (63), scripts 1.2 MB (89) and other files 726 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 1.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (1.0 MB) 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.
1 image far larger than shown
114 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example fresh-sale-mobile.jpg at 1,365 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 114 KiB.
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.96 g of CO₂e: 235.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
38 images without alt text
38 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
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.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h4 → h6, h1 → h3 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
26 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 26 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (219 characters)
Your meta description is 219 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
110 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 110 pages on goodbyebread.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 46 characters
Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Goodbye Bread — Shop the raddest brands online”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.goodbyebread.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.goodbyebread.com/sitemap.xml.
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
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
/pages/wishlist, /collections/all-f-ckin-newest-shit, /collections/all, /collections/tops and /collections/graphic-whatever have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
/pages/wishlist, /collections/all-f-ckin-newest-shit, /collections/all, /collections/tops and /collections/graphic-whatever have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 39 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (goodbyebread.com).
Valid certificate (33 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for goodbyebread.com and is valid for another 33 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://goodbyebread.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors; 6 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
goodbyebread.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.
DNSSEC is off
goodbyebread.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 10 years old
10 yearsgoodbyebread.com was registered in May 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until May 2027
goodbyebread.com is registered until May 2027.
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 78 words
The homepage has only about 78 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Order Status”, “Buy Now Pay Later” and “Shop Instagram”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Hotjar and TikTok Pixel.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be goodbyebread.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:send.goodbyebread.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.
27 cookies set on arrival
27Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies (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.
45 other companies contacted
