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
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 223 KiB7 images could be 223 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and rechargecdn.com and others), adding 947 KiB and 515 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 990 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
329 KiBAbout 329 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
2,589 HTML elements
The page has 2,589 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 189 ms
189 msShopify costs a phone 189 ms of main-thread work and 409 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
150 ms · 90 KiBAbout 90 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
178 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (178 KiB).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
31 KiB31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 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.
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: 3.9 MB in 307 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 307 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (35), scripts 1.0 MB (143) and other files 880 KiB (110). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (262 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.
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
Invalid ARIA attributes
3 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
24 links without text
24 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (72 characters)
Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Nuun Hydration: Electrolyte Tablets and Hydration Products – Nuun Canada”.
Meta description is long (265 characters)
Your meta description is 265 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 134 pages on nuunlife.ca and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed

AI search readiness

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 (979 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://nuunlife.ca/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://nuunlife.ca/products/nuun-vitamins-blueberry-pomegranate is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages without a meta description
https://nuunlife.ca/blogs/news, https://nuunlife.ca/blogs/press, https://nuunlife.ca/pages/faqs, https://nuunlife.ca/pages/contact-us and https://nuunlife.ca/pages/wholesale-inquiries have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
11 pages without an H1
https://nuunlife.ca/collections/nuun-sport, https://nuunlife.ca/products/nuun-sport-powder-drink-mix, https://nuunlife.ca/collections/nuun-immunity, https://nuunlife.ca/products/nuun-vitamins-blueberry-pomegranate, https://nuunlife.ca/collections/4-pack-bundles and https://nuunlife.ca/collections/special-offer and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
