Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 610 KiBAbout 610 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 382 KiB47 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (382 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49 (desktop: 57). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.6 s
A phone's processor spends 7.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 257 ms
257 msKlaviyo costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 510 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.
Clarity adds 293 ms
293 msClarity costs a phone 293 ms of main-thread work and 29 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 adds 167 ms
167 msShopify costs a phone 167 ms of main-thread work and 729 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.
2,226 HTML elements
The page has 2,226 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
fwcdn3.com adds 152 ms
152 msfwcdn3.com costs a phone 152 ms of main-thread work and 336 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.
smile.io adds 42 ms
42 mssmile.io costs a phone 42 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
179 KiB8 images could be 179 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
60 KiBAbout 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012
0.012The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.5 MB in 439 requests
10.5 MBYour homepage downloads 10.5 MB in 439 requests on a phone: media 6.1 MB (1), scripts 2.0 MB (209) and other files 1.1 MB (164). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
banner2_2.webp 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).
3 images in older formats
3 images (119 KiB) 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.
About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.99 g of CO₂e: 358.6 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
11 tap targets too small
11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“HOROW” and “They upgrade with us”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (185 characters)
Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
133 internal links, 56 external
The homepage links to 133 pages on horow.com and 56 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 59 characters
Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Kitchen & Bathroom Fixtures | Smart Toilet and More - HOROW”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://horow.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.
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://horow.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,598 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
/collections/toilets-accessories, /collections/bathroom-sinks-faucets, /collections/pedestal-sinks, /collections/console-bathroom-sinks, /collections/above-counter-bathroom-sink and /collections/bathroom-faucets have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /collections/toilets/Product-type, whose canonical is /collections/toilets. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
9 pages without an H1
/collections/toilets/Product-type, /collections/smart-toilets, /collections/one-piece-toilets, /collections/two-pieces-toilets, /collections/wall-hung-toilet and /collections/toilet-bidet-seats and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/collections/two-pieces-toilets has 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
10 small tap targets
10 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “gtag is not defined”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (horow.com).
Valid certificate (81 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for horow.com and is valid for another 81 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://horow.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 60 links work
All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
horow.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
horow.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 21 years old
21 yearshorow.com was registered in Sep 2005 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
horow.com is registered until Sep 2027.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 20 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
About 474 words of copy
The homepage carries about 474 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Umami.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be horow.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:zoho.com.cn include:zohomail.com include:dc-8e814c8572._spfm.horow.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.
36 cookies set on arrival
