Speed

3 to fix82
  • Mobile performance score: 82

    82/100

    Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 155 KiB

    About 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, rechargecdn.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 624 KiB and 291 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    About 20 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.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    16 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 675 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

  • Time to Interactive: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 82 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 18 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 186 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 186 requests on a phone: other files 732 KiB (95), scripts 692 KiB (70) and fonts 140 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9497
  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “Kilogram Tea”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 1 link with vague text

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

  • 45 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on kilogramtea.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 119 characters

    Your meta description is 119 characters: “Kilogram is an American tea company sourcing fresh, and compelling teas that reflect peaks in season, land and process.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Kilogram Tea”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://kilogramtea.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.

  • 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://kilogramtea.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://kilogramtea.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    https://kilogramtea.com/products/organic-breakfast-15-count-teabags and https://kilogramtea.com/products/organic-ginger-peach-15-count-pyramid-teabags are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://kilogramtea.com/blogs/news has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://kilogramtea.com/collections/chai and https://kilogramtea.com/collections/tea-wares have 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 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No direct contact details

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

  • Only about 149 words

    The homepage has only about 149 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP TEA”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Subscribe” and “SHOP TEA”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 kilogramtea.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
