Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.7 s · 1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 410 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (410 KiB).
Main-thread work: 10.2 s
A phone's processor spends 10.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (shgcdn2.com, Google CDN and Clarity and others), adding 2.4 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
580 ms · 110 KiBAbout 110 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.
shgcdn2.com adds 655 ms
655 msshgcdn2.com costs a phone 655 ms of main-thread work and 135 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.
Google CDN adds 358 ms
358 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 358 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.
Improve image delivery
428 KiB23 images could be 428 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 285 ms
285 msShopify costs a phone 285 ms of main-thread work and 691 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 295 ms
295 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 295 ms of main-thread work and 484 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.
Clarity adds 305 ms
305 msClarity costs a phone 305 ms of main-thread work and 31 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.
2,504 HTML elements
The page has 2,504 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
200 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 168 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
51 KiB51 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.1 MB in 592 requests
8.1 MBYour homepage downloads 8.1 MB in 592 requests on a phone: scripts 3.8 MB (173), other files 2.1 MB (318) and images 1.3 MB (48). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.29 g of CO₂e: 275.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
11 tap targets too small
11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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 (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (28 characters)
Your title is only 28 characters: “Verifying your connection...”. 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.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://nutricost.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at nutricost.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Your connection needs to be verified before you can proceed”.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
17 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Homepage answers HTTP 429
Your homepage answered with HTTP 429, so visitors and search engines may see an error page.
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 16 words
The homepage has only about 16 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 15 of them by other companies (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.
39 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 39 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 nutricost.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
