Render-blocking requests
1.9 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Avoid multiple page redirects
820 msThe page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 820 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Reduce unused CSS
460 ms · 140 KiBAbout 140 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (booqable.com, WordPress and WordPress Site Stats and others), adding 1.5 MB and 433 ms of main-thread time.
booqable.com adds 349 ms
349 msbooqable.com costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Document request latency
350 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 350 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce unused JavaScript
283 KiBAbout 283 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 199 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 11 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).
Minify CSS
20 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Improve image delivery
21 KiB1 image could be 21 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.5 s
A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 701 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 14 ms
14 msYour server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 12.4 s
12.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.1 s
7.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sYour largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Protected: Homepage”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

168 msScripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 136 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 136 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (97), stylesheets 230 KiB (23) and fonts 211 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 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 (6 elements)

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (4 characters)
Your title is only 4 characters: “Grow”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Grow” and “Protected: Homepage”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
30 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 30 pages on growstrollers.com and 1 external page.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://growstrollers.com/.
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://growstrollers.com/wp-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 https://growstrollers.com/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.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://growstrollers.com/.
3 small tap targets
3 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
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 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 49 words
The homepage has only about 49 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed

3 calls to action

Privacy and tracking
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
