Speed

7 to fix75
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 465 KiB

    About 465 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    440 ms · 74 KiB

    About 74 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 440 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.3 MB and 257 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 219 ms

    219 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.

  • gemporia.io adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    gemporia.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 846 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 68 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (68 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 61 KiB

    7 images could be 61 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 392 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 96 ms

    96 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 96 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Your largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Main Banner Image”.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.3 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 57 ms

    57 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 57 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (372 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.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 60.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 58 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 58 requests on a phone: scripts 842 KiB (21), images 610 KiB (17) and fonts 235 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 8286
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 9 images without alt text

    9 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.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (6 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • Meta description is long (300 characters)

    Your meta description is 300 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 114 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 114 pages on primalliving.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Vitamins, Suppliments & Natural Living | Primal Living”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Primal Living | Vitamins, Supplements & Natural Living”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.primalliving.com/en-gb/.

  • 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.gemporia.com/sitemaps/sitemaps.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix65
  • robots.txt blocks 2 AI answer engine crawlers

    2 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.primalliving.com/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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

2 checks passed
  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (574 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    95 of 97 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix89
  • 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: 19 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 345 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 345 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “LOGIN/REGISTER”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop All Product”, “Contact” and “Login/Register”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 primalliving.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
