Speed

14 to fix35
  • Google Tag Manager adds 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.2 s of main-thread work and 1.3 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

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

  • Main-thread work: 12.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 12.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 35

    35/100

    Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 5,236 HTML elements

    The page has 5,236 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 (Google Tag Manager, rebuyengine.com and Curalate and others), adding 3.9 MB and 3.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.4 MB

    41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.4 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 MB

    8 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 111 KiB

    About 111 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 340 ms

    340 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 340 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 341 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Curalate adds 197 ms

    197 ms

    Curalate costs a phone 197 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.

  • Shopify adds 136 ms

    136 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 651 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.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    45 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    17 KiB

    17 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: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Time to Interactive: 43.4 s

    43.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 43.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Your largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A hand holds a white Native Deodorant bottle wrapped in a r…”.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.19

    0.19

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.19 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.182

    0.182

    The layout shifts by 0.182 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 183 ms to 210 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 165 ms

    165 ms

    Real visitors wait 165 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 512 ms

    512 ms

    Real visitors wait 512 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% faster for real visitors

    -30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 8.4 MB in 426 requests

    8.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.4 MB in 426 requests on a phone: scripts 3.3 MB (97), images 2.0 MB (85) and fonts 1.5 MB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.38 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.38 g of CO₂e: 285.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8990
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid names (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 37 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Native”, “Native” and “Mix and match your faves to save 20%.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 291 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 291 pages on nativecos.com and 4 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Native Deodorant: Aluminum &amp; Paraben-Free Deodorant, Hair Care &amp; Body Care. Vegan &amp; Cruelty-Free. 150,000+ …”.

  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “Native Deodorant | Clean. Simple. Effective.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.nativecos.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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.nativecos.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,300 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 40 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6985

    31 of 106 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

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

  • Requests the geolocation permission on page load

    Requests the geolocation permission on page load.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

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

  • 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 941 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 941 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP HOLIDAY”.

  • 18 calls to action

  • 7 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and Pinterest Tag and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 33 cookies set on arrival

    33

    Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 47 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 47 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
