Speed

6 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 336 KiB

    About 336 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 227 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (227 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 72 KiB

    About 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 839 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 143 ms

    143 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (reamaze.com, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 680 KiB and 343 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    250 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 91 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    50 KiB

    3 images could be 50 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.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

  • Real-user INP: 148 ms

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 356 ms

  • Total Blocking Time: 148 ms

    148 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 148 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.021

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 326 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 326 requests on a phone: other files 862 KiB (133), scripts 794 KiB (157) and images 651 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.73 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • 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 9193
  • 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.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (3 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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 (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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

1 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 2 H1 headlines

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (550 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://pawbau.com/pages/reviews, https://pawbau.com/pages/track-your-order, https://pawbau.com/pages/contact, https://pawbau.com/policies/refund-policy and https://pawbau.com/policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://pawbau.com/pages/track-your-order has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • About 421 words of copy

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 pawbau.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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
