hdmuscle.ca website review

About 194 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (205 KiB).

12 images could be 6.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 851 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

The page has 2,326 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 686 KiB and 352 ms of main-thread time.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

About 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 38.9 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 41.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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 122 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 13.5 MB in 211 requests on a phone: images 11.9 MB (40), scripts 767 KiB (74) and other files 682 KiB (62). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example MR408253-2.jpg at 1,444 px wide, shown at 130 px. Resized copies would save about 943 KiB.

HD_Mobile_Banner_2_d6d1e47e-27ff-4c0d-a965-3b8d4b03b831.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.82 g of CO₂e: 458.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 166 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 175 pages on hdmuscle.ca and 10 external pages.

https://hdmuscle.com/collections/all, https://hdmuscle.com/collections/pre-workouts, https://hdmuscle.com/collections/post-workout-recovery and https://hdmuscle.com/collections/intra-workouts use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://hdmuscle.com/collections/all, https://hdmuscle.com/collections/pre-workouts, https://hdmuscle.com/collections/post-workout-recovery, https://hdmuscle.com/collections/intra-workouts and https://hdmuscle.com/collections/creatine have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 64 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught Error: Goaffpro is already loaded. This message prevents duplicate loading of the script. Kindly ignore.”.

Social proof on the homepage: 77 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 650 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.

Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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