Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.7 s
A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,591 HTML elements
The page has 2,591 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 (Clarity, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 428 KiB and 273 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
164 KiB5 images could be 164 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 65 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).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
25 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
16 KiBAbout 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 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.

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s
8.1 sYour largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Home Hero”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.7 s
3.7 sThe first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.5 s
6.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 8.2 s
8.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 102 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 62.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 279 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 279 requests on a phone: other files 698 KiB (81), scripts 524 KiB (66) and images 500 KiB (104). That is a lean page.
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
20 buttons without a name
20 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 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.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 101 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 2 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.
Meta description is long (176 characters)
Your meta description is 176 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
282 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 282 pages on never2.com and 5 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 57 characters
Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “NEVERSECOND® | Performance Nutrition | Endurance Athletes”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://never2.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://never2.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
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 (2,326 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked

1 checks passed

Content and conversion
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

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 1,425 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,425 words of visible text.

17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

25 other companies contacted

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 never2.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps your storefront loads
Hreflang Manager · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Langify · Microsoft Clarity · Orbe Geolocation · Reviews Co Uk Product And Merchant Review Collection
