hydragun.ca website review

Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

The page has 1,636 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Shopify costs a phone 30 ms of main-thread work and 435 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 load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and ActiveCampaign and others), adding 536 KiB and 188 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 230 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 26 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

4 images could be 141 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (71 KiB).

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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

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

The layout shifts by 0.647 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Man using Hydragun Atom Mini Massage Gun”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

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.

640x920_mobile_banner_male_atom_v2-min.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 is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 640x920_mobile_banner_male_atom_v2-min.jpg at 1,281 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 19 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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.

9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 43 pages on hydragun.ca and 28 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.

/products/heatpod-infrared-sauna-blanket is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/policies/privacy-policy, /policies/terms-of-service and /pages/shipping-and-returns have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/pages/about has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.hydragun.ca/.

6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'countdownEnd')”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

The homepage carries about 638 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 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.

Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (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 29 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
