Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 416 KiB6 images could be 416 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 13.3 s
A phone's processor spends 13.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7,921 HTML elements
The page has 7,921 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 (Shopify, rebuyengine.com and alia-prod.com and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 696 KiB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (696 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
460 ms · 620 KiBAbout 620 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Shopify adds 477 ms
477 msShopify costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Reduce unused CSS
460 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
rebuyengine.com adds 355 ms
355 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 355 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.
alia-prod.com adds 301 ms
301 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 256 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 267 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 68 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 68 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 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.

26.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 26.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

Speed Index: 8.2 s
8.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 213 ms
213 msReal visitors wait 213 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors
+29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 194 ms to 251 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 397 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 397 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (83), scripts 2.2 MB (147) and other files 714 KiB (132). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
H2eWILWo.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
3 images far larger than shown
462 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example pandectes-banner-logo.png at 3,360 px wide, shown at 104 px. Resized copies would save about 462 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (399 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 below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (21 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.66 g of CO₂e: 199.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
38 text elements with low contrast
38 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
39 links without text
39 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 232 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 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: 51 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (5,170 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
https://nathanandsons.com/collections/oral-care, https://nathanandsons.com/collections/bundles, https://nathanandsons.com/collections/accessories, https://nathanandsons.com/pages/aboutus, https://nathanandsons.com/pages/underbrush-scams-and-knockoffs and https://nathanandsons.com/pages/affiliates have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
https://nathanandsons.com/products/remineralizing-gum, https://nathanandsons.com/pages/aboutus and https://nathanandsons.com/pages/affiliates have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
