Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 267 KiBAbout 267 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 245 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (245 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.1 MB and 513 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 214 ms
214 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 214 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 77 ms
77 msShopify costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 452 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.
Improve image delivery
215 KiB7 images could be 215 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.0 s
13.0 sYour largest element takes 13.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 13.2 s
13.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 252 ms
252 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 252 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
15 images without width and height
15 images 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.

Tap response (INP) got 10% faster for real visitors
-10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 118 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors
-14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 221 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 221 requests on a phone: scripts 1,003 KiB (84), other files 924 KiB (98) and images 645 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
H2G_HomePage_SplitLayout_Header_Wide-_1.jpg 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (72 KiB) is 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.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (29 characters)
Your title is only 29 characters: “Honest to Goodness Pet Treats”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (188 characters)
Your meta description is 188 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
32 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 32 pages on honest2goodness.com and 7 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.honest2goodness.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Brand, Organization, SiteNavigationElement, WebPage and WebSite.

robots.txt in place

AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (836 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.honest2goodness.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.honest2goodness.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.honest2goodness.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
11 pages without a meta description
https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/dogs, https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/upcycled-treats, https://www.honest2goodness.com/blogs/articles, https://www.honest2goodness.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/all-products-1 and https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/protein-bites and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
10 pages without an H1
https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/dogs, https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/upcycled-treats, https://www.honest2goodness.com/pages/about-honest-to-goodness, https://www.honest2goodness.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/all-products-1 and https://www.honest2goodness.com/collections/protein-bites and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
