Speed
Improve image delivery
3.0 s · 673 KiB14 images could be 673 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 670 KiBAbout 670 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 667 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (667 KiB).
Main-thread work: 6.3 s
A phone's processor spends 6.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,628 HTML elements
The page has 3,628 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, loox.io and Clarity and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
loox.io adds 323 ms
323 msloox.io costs a phone 323 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
alia-prod.com adds 363 ms
363 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 363 ms of main-thread work and 398 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 47 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 108 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 508 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 508 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (124), scripts 1.5 MB (85) and other files 1.5 MB (241). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (229 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.67 g of CO₂e: 200.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
8 links crawlers can't follow
8 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
131 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 131 pages on merakimedicinal.com and 11 external pages.

Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (4,948 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

https://www.merakimedicinal.com/collections/all, https://www.merakimedicinal.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://www.merakimedicinal.com/pages/about-us have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
