Speed

4 to fix89
  • Mobile performance score: 89

    89/100

    Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 178 KiB

    2 images could be 178 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Yotpo adds 116 ms

    116 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Yotpo, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 613 KiB and 196 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 65 KiB

    About 65 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

    149 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (149 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    78 KiB

    About 78 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 407 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix85
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Flash Sale”.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

5 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 210 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 210 requests on a phone: other files 780 KiB (100), images 766 KiB (25) and scripts 595 KiB (65). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    5 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Phenocal-Flash-Sale-06-Nov-Mobile-1.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 5 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (418 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9594
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 57 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 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: 44 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 35 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on phenocal.com and 0 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Phenocal Official Website - Looking for a weight loss supplement that really works? Check out Phenocal! Rated #1 by the…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Phenocal”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Phenocal™ Official Website - The #1 Rated Weight Loss Supplement”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.phenocal.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: OnlineStore, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://www.phenocal.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,336 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

6 to fix60
  • 1 page without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    /pages/do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information and /pages/data-sharing-opt-out all use the title “Do Not Sell or Share my Personal Information – Phenocal”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /customer_authentication/redirect and /policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /pages/do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information and /pages/data-sharing-opt-out use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    13 pages of 14 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “❌ Step 3 FAILED: Could not find <script id="product-schema">. Check that the id attribute exists on the JSON-LD script …”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 49 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 1,083 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,083 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Order Now”, “START TODAY” and “BUY NOW”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo 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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 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.

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 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 phenocal.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
