Google Tag Manager adds 1.8 s
1.8 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.8 s of main-thread work and 2.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookie-Script.com and Facebook and others), adding 3.1 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
887 KiB42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (887 KiB).
Improve image delivery
758 KiB6 images could be 758 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 347 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 121 ms
121 msKlaviyo costs a phone 121 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
kodif.ai adds 118 ms
118 mskodif.ai costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 303 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 · 31 KiBAbout 31 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.
Legacy JavaScript
56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 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.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 38.6 s
38.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 38.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.4 s
11.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s
1.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s
4.5 sYour largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “hero”.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.005
0.005The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.005, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB in 425 requests
6.8 MBYour homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 425 requests on a phone: scripts 3.9 MB (176), images 1.6 MB (36) and other files 946 KiB (186). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (49 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 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 232.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 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: 52 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Your fresh start starts here.” and “Your fresh start starts here.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
42 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on primalharvest.ca and 6 external pages.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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 (922 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://primalharvest.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://primalharvest.ca/collections/all is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
6 pages without a meta description
https://primalharvest.ca/pages/about-us, https://primalharvest.ca/pages/faq, https://primalharvest.ca/collections/all, https://primalharvest.ca/pages/ingredients, https://primalharvest.ca/collections/probiotics-gut-health and https://primalharvest.ca/collections/energy-mental-focus have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://primalharvest.ca/pages/faq and https://primalharvest.ca/pages/get-started have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://primalharvest.ca/pages/get-started has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
