Speed

6 to fix68
  • 3,648 HTML elements

    The page has 3,648 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    800 ms · 185 KiB

    5 images could be 185 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 899 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 50 ms

    50 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 50 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (govx.com, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Shopify and others), adding 686 KiB and 341 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 170 KiB

    About 170 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 66 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (66 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 24 KiB

    About 24 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

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

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Your largest element takes 8.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Video Cover”.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.8 s

    12.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 115 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 686 ms

    686 ms

    Real visitors wait 686 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 76 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012

    0.012

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 211 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 211 requests on a phone: fonts 798 KiB (10), other files 723 KiB (79) and scripts 708 KiB (75). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (37 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (37 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.86 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 103.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8994
  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 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.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h3 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 49 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: 49 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8580
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Meta description is long (213 characters)

    Your meta description is 213 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 145 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 145 pages on protgold.com and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “ProT Gold Collagen Protein | Heal Faster”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://protgold.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://protgold.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 (17,729 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /pages/formula and /collections/all-products use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /pages/formula and /pages/about-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /blogs/news/how-to-treat-infected-wounds-at-home-6-tips took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 69 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 30 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (protgold.com).

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for protgold.com and is valid for another 47 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://protgold.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 45 links work

    All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 5 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    protgold.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    protgold.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 10 years old

    10 years

    protgold.com was registered in Aug 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2030

    protgold.com is registered until Aug 2030.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 896 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 896 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 19 calls to action

    The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact” and “Shop Now”.

  • 9 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 72 testimonial or review blocks and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 8 email links.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    protgold.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    protgold.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Domain receives no email

    protgold.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
