growace.com website review

About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (806 KiB).

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,111 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and amaicdn.com and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 81 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 524 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.

Shopify costs a phone 358 ms of main-thread work and 516 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 49 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.

amaicdn.com costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 404 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.

Attentive costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.

9 images could be 140 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 29.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 10.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 877 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. 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 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 136 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 268 requests on a phone: other files 3.1 MB (129), scripts 2.1 MB (94) and images 611 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.78 g of CO₂e: 213.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Grow Light, LED Growlights, HPS Grow Lights, Grow Tents, Hydroponics”.

5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 662 pages on growace.com and 10 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.

https://growace.com/collections/grow-light and https://growace.com/collections/led-grow-lights have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 194 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

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

Social proof on the homepage: 16 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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