Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 372 KiBAbout 372 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 80 KiBAbout 80 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Clarity and Shopify and others), adding 1.1 MB and 367 ms of main-thread time.
Klaviyo adds 161 ms
161 msKlaviyo costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 653 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.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 32 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).
Minify CSS
80 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 83 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
79 KiB10 images could be 79 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 335 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 335 requests on a phone: other files 2.0 MB (174), scripts 1.2 MB (99) and images 607 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (42 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.18 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 141.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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.
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.
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 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
18 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 22 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 18 passed and 4 failed. 4 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 (17 characters)
Your title is only 17 characters: “Nutrition Express”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Nutrition Express” and “NEED HELP?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Invalid hreflang
Your hreflang tags are invalid, so Google may show the wrong language version.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
77 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 77 pages on nutritionexpress.com and 4 external pages.

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.
