Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 245 KiBAbout 245 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 127 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (127 KiB).
Improve image delivery
613 KiB14 images could be 613 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
1,786 HTML elements
The page has 1,786 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 80 ms
80 msShopify costs a phone 80 ms of main-thread work and 352 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 (Judge.me, Shopify and fwcdn3.com and others), adding 668 KiB and 279 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 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.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 59 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 658 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.1 s
16.1 sYour largest element takes 16.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “New Arrival”.
Time to Interactive: 16.4 s
16.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.0 s
6.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
29 images without width and height
29 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user LCP: 2.5 s
2.5 sReal visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 1.8 s
1.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 9 ms
9 msScripts block the page for only 9 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 311 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 311 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (92), other files 920 KiB (134) and scripts 773 KiB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (66 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 144.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
10 text elements with low contrast
10 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.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 form fields without a label
9 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (320 characters)
Your meta description is 320 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
157 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 157 pages on kbobike.com and 14 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “KBO Bike”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Ebikes | The Best Value eBikes For All Lifestyles | KBO Bike”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://kbobike.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://kbobike.com/sitemap.xml.
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.
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 (2,412 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://kbobike.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
https://kbobike.com/collections/replacement-parts, https://kbobike.com/collections/bestselling, https://kbobike.com/collections/storage-transport and https://kbobike.com/collections/upgrades have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://kbobike.com/collections/replacement-parts, https://kbobike.com/collections/bestselling, https://kbobike.com/collections/storage-transport and https://kbobike.com/collections/upgrades have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR”.
1 distorted image

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
24 of 27 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,815 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,815 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

21 cookies set on arrival
21Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
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.
32 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at kbobike.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
