Speed
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 374 KiB14 images could be 374 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 128 KiBAbout 128 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.
Klaviyo adds 95 ms
95 msKlaviyo costs a phone 95 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and LoyaltyLion and others), adding 415 KiB and 107 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 78 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
14 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14 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: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 369 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Cumulative Layout Shift: 1.64
1.64The layout shifts by 1.64 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s
6.2 sYour largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.6 s
10.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
45 images without width and height
45 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
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.
3 checks passed
Speed Index: 3.1 s
3.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 14 ms
14 msScripts block the page for only 14 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 186 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 186 requests on a phone: images 995 KiB (30), other files 722 KiB (81) and scripts 584 KiB (68). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
47 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 00905_MDoc_ManukaPharm_banners_1000x8003_799e5737-da70-4a45- at 1,000 px wide, shown at 302 px. Resized copies would save about 47 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (137 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (59 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 78.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
10 images without alt text
10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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)
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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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 (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
46 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: 46 passed and 8 failed. 1 more 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.
20 links with vague text
20 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
54 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 54 pages on manukapharm.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.manukapharm.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://www.manukapharm.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 (459 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.manukapharm.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.manukapharm.com/pages/about and https://www.manukapharm.com/blogs/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
9 pages share a meta description
https://www.manukapharm.com/products/manuka-pharm-40-mgo-active-manuka-honey-250g, https://www.manukapharm.com/products/manuka-pharm-40-mgo-active-manuka-honey-500g, https://www.manukapharm.com/products/manuka-pharm-55-mgo-active-manuka-honey-250g, https://www.manukapharm.com/products/manuka-pharm-55-mgo-active-manuka-honey-500g, https://www.manukapharm.com/products/manuka-pharm-70-mgo-active-manuka-honey-250g and https://www.manukapharm.com/products/manuka-pharm-70-mgo-active-manuka-honey-500g and 3 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://www.manukapharm.com/blogs/news has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.manukapharm.com/pages/contact has 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.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
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 554 words of copy
The homepage carries about 554 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
