Speed

7 to fix71
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 828 KiB

    About 828 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and shop.app and others), adding 2.1 MB and 592 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 456 ms

    456 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 456 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 MB 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: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 864 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google CDN adds 124 ms

    124 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 124 ms of main-thread work and 298 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

    150 ms · 133 KiB

    6 images could be 133 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 112 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    105 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (105 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    86 KiB

    About 86 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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 CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Your largest element takes 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 132 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 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: 85 ms

    85 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 85 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.033

    0.033

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.033, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 484 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 484 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (143), other files 1.3 MB (275) and images 533 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    fd2c17e413bb21efae7bb60948f96af2.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (168 KiB) are 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (168 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9394
  • 25 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 46 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on pool-country.com and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 114 characters

    Your meta description is 114 characters: “We sell high cost-effective products such as pool chlorine tablets and pool shock. The price is more advantageous.”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Pool Country - Pool Chlorine Tablet & Shock Good Price”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://pool-country.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Corporation, Organization 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://pool-country.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (669 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://pool-country.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    https://pool-country.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://pool-country.com/products/5-lbs-3-inch-chlorine-tablets-for-pool are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://pool-country.com/collections/all, https://pool-country.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://pool-country.com/blogs/pool-university and https://pool-country.com/policies/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://pool-country.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“CSS appearance value `slider-vertical` is not standardized and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'e', "empty" is not valid JSON”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    15 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix63
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 482 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 482 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop Now” and “BUY NOW”.

  • 4 short forms

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

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 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 pool-country.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 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
