Speed

4 to fix98
  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    361 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (361 KiB).

  • 1,865 HTML elements

    The page has 1,865 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • amaicdn.com adds 1 ms

    1 ms

    amaicdn.com costs a phone 1 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.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, amaicdn.com and Google Fonts and others), adding 760 KiB and 5 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    37 KiB

    About 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    33 KiB

    1 image could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 98

    98/100

    Your mobile performance score is 98. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 51 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 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.

  • Real-user INP: 279 ms

    279 ms

    Real visitors wait 279 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • 22 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

11 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors wait 0.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • 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: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 438 ms

    438 ms

    Real visitors wait 438 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 22% faster for real visitors

    -22%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 346 ms to 280 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 67% faster for real visitors

    -67%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 0.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Time to Interactive: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.0 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    NLBN_LB_MM_Baits_Mobile_BN_1.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).

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 53 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 53 requests on a phone: scripts 858 KiB (20), images 498 KiB (21) and HTML 88 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8091
  • 29 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 8 images without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • 11 links without text

    11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 checks passed
  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9284
  • Title is short (19 characters)

    Your title is only 19 characters: “No Live Bait Needed”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (162 characters)

    Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 146 internal links, 21 external

    The homepage links to 146 pages on nlbn.com and 21 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “No Live Bait Needed”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://nlbn.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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://nlbn.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 (967 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://nlbn.com/collections/duron-leader, https://nlbn.com/collections/limited-batch, https://nlbn.com/collections/3, https://nlbn.com/collections/3-75, https://nlbn.com/collections/5 and https://nlbn.com/collections/5-jigs and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://nlbn.com/collections/limited-batch and https://nlbn.com/collections/3-75 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 57 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

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    18 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • Only about 211 words

    The homepage has only about 211 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Buy”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 nlbn.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 11 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
