Speed

11 to fix66
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Main-thread work: 7.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    580 ms · 446 KiB

    About 446 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 134 KiB

    About 134 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 338 ms

    338 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 920 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    409 KiB

    33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (409 KiB).

  • Clarity adds 338 ms

    338 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 30 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 212 ms

    212 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 212 ms of main-thread work and 504 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.

  • 2,303 HTML elements

    The page has 2,303 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify CSS

    280 ms · 25 KiB

    25 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 105 KiB

    8 images could be 105 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 19.2 s

    19.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Your largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Slide”.

  • Speed Index: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 23% slower for real visitors

    +23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 132 ms to 167 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 17 images without width and height

    17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 120 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 781 ms

    781 ms

    Real visitors wait 781 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 196 ms

    196 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 196 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix50
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 514 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 514 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (141), other files 1.4 MB (269) and images 461 KiB (80). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (579 KiB) are 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 far larger than shown

    150 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example App_Customer_Support.webp at 2,304 px wide, shown at 65 px. Resized copies would save about 150 KiB.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.14 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.14 g of CO₂e: 136.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8789
  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (54 elements)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 54 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 15 text elements with low contrast

    15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (192 characters)

    Your meta description is 192 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 103 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 103 pages on marsghc.com and 7 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Mars By GHC - Best Men's Health and Wellness company”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://marsghc.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,967 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://marsghc.com/collections/nitric-oxide, https://marsghc.com/pages/track-order, https://marsghc.com/pages/mens-health-month-nnn-buy-3-2026, https://marsghc.com/pages/mens-health-month-nnn-buy-5-2026 and https://marsghc.com/pages/consultation have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://marsghc.com/pages/track-order, https://marsghc.com/pages/mens-health-month-nnn-buy-3-2026, https://marsghc.com/pages/mens-health-month-nnn-buy-5-2026 and https://marsghc.com/pages/consultation have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 66 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 5474
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187237203&Ver=2&mid=2887d632-3f1b-450a-934e-c167bb2871a2&bo=1&sid=af403af0d80511f18d214fff3172b5eb&vid=af4057c0d80511f1b46f5f6a86708c18&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Identifier 'origFetch' has already been declared”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    34 of 42 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 55 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 1,942 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,942 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Track Order” and “Join”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 5 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.

  • 31 cookies set on arrival

    31

    Opening the homepage sets 31 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.

  • 54 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 54 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 marsghc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
