livingsoilseeds.com website review

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (481 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.5 MB and 615 ms of main-thread time.

About 586 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Shopify costs a phone 298 ms of main-thread work and 668 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 47 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 image could be 17 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Over time, it became clear that we didn't have the capacity…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 134 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 331 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (147), other files 977 KiB (152) and fonts 145 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Your meta description is 320 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 76 pages on livingsoilseeds.com and 14 external pages.

https://buildasoil.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://buildasoil.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://buildasoil.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://buildasoil.com/apps/wishlist, https://buildasoil.com/collections/potting-soils-mixes, https://buildasoil.com/collections/dry-amendments-minerals, https://buildasoil.com/collections/liquids-soluble-powders and https://buildasoil.com/collections/liquids and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://buildasoil.com/pages/store-locator, https://buildasoil.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://buildasoil.com/apps/wishlist have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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

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

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

The homepage carries about 669 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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 26 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 57 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
