Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 155 KiBAbout 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 ms2 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 KiBAbout 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 msWeb 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB10 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.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.47 gBy 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 MBYour 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
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
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
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 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

Best practices

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
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

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
