Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.4 s · 1.4 MB31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 648 KiB7 images could be 648 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
910 ms · 153 KiBAbout 153 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 910 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
Font display
350 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).
Optanon adds 153 ms
153 msOptanon costs a phone 153 ms of main-thread work and 454 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and site.com and others), adding 895 KiB and 378 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 132 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 501 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.7 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 58 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 58 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (15), scripts 455 KiB (10) and fonts 370 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images in older formats
10 images (1.7 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (236 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 90.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (73 characters)
Your title is 73 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Stain Removal Solutions for a Fast and Messy World. – The Hate Stains Co.”.
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 (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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 XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.missmouths.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
14 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 14 pages on hatestains.com and 13 external pages.
2 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.missmouths.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
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.
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
47%The HTML your server sends has 81 of the 173 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.missmouths.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.
Other pages
4 pages share a meta description
https://www.missmouths.com/collections, https://www.missmouths.com/collections/miss-mouths-messy-eater, https://www.missmouths.com/collections/emergency-stain-rescue and https://www.missmouths.com/refund-policy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
5 pages with very little text
https://www.missmouths.com/collections, https://www.missmouths.com/collections/miss-mouths-messy-eater, https://www.missmouths.com/collections/emergency-stain-rescue, https://www.missmouths.com/collections/chateau-spill and https://www.missmouths.com/contact 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.

Best practices
6 small tap targets
6 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 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 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
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 173 words
The homepage has only about 173 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
2 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads 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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
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.
