One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.8 s · 912 KiBAbout 912 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.7 s · 335 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (335 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Google Tag Manager and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.6 MB and 568 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
rebuyengine.com adds 135 ms
135 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 667 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.
Reduce unused CSS
240 ms · 161 KiBAbout 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 70 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 153 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Improve image delivery
47 KiB5 images could be 47 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 21.1 s
21.1 sYour largest element takes 21.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Empowering Women’s Wellness With Doctor-Formulated, Science…”.
Time to Interactive: 22.4 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
28 images without width and height
28 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.134
0.134The layout shifts by 0.134 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 216 ms

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 263 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 263 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (90), other files 807 KiB (114) and fonts 517 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (707 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.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (708 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.12 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.12 g of CO₂e: 133.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 33 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (6 characters)
Your title is only 6 characters: “NovaMD”. 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 (236 characters)
Your meta description is 236 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
34 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 34 pages on novamd.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “NovaMD”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://novamd.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://novamd.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (951 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://novamd.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://novamd.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://novamd.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
6 pages share 3 titles
https://novamd.com/collections/shop/products/cellular-rewind-formula and https://novamd.com/products/cellular-rewind-formula all use the title “Cellular Rewind Formula – NovaMD”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
https://novamd.com/collections/shop, https://novamd.com/pages/contact, https://novamd.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://novamd.com/policies/privacy-policy, https://novamd.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://novamd.com/policies/refund-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages share a meta description
https://novamd.com/collections/shop/products/cellular-rewind-formula and https://novamd.com/products/cellular-rewind-formula use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://novamd.com/collections/shop/products/cellular-rewind-formula, whose canonical is https://novamd.com/products/cellular-rewind-formula. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://novamd.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
13 internal pages checked
We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed

All 13 pages we checked loaded without an error.
