Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 246 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (246 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 271 KiBAbout 271 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.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, Klaviyo and squarecdn.com and others), adding 724 KiB and 618 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 62 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 62 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 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: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 159 ms
159 msKlaviyo costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 305 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 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 133 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 28 KiB2 images could be 28 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 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
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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: 0.045
0.045The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.045, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Page weight: 2.0 MB in 180 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 180 requests on a phone: scripts 964 KiB (84), other files 666 KiB (75) and images 127 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
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
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Pristine Pet” and “Search”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (OfferCatalog, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://www.pristinepet.com/search?q={search_term_string}")”.

Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.pristinepet.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.pristinepet.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
13 pages without a meta description
https://www.pristinepet.com/collections/stain-odor-removal, https://www.pristinepet.com/pages/reviews, https://www.pristinepet.com/pages/our-story, https://www.pristinepet.com/blogs/articles, https://www.pristinepet.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://www.pristinepet.com/pages/ingredients and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.pristinepet.com/products/pet-odor-stain-eliminator-32oz and https://www.pristinepet.com/products/pet-odor-stain-eliminator-gallon use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://www.pristinepet.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.pristinepet.com/collections/stain-odor-removal and https://www.pristinepet.com/collections/best-sellers have 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.
