Speed

7 to fix71
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.0 s · 467 KiB

    About 467 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Unpkg and Shopify and others), adding 7.6 MB and 694 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

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

  • Shopify adds 57 ms

    57 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 57 ms of main-thread work and 7.1 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 266 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (266 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 252 ms

    252 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 252 ms of main-thread work and 179 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 48 KiB

    About 48 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 235 ms

    235 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 235 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.1 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: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 85 ms

    85 ms

    Real visitors wait 85 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 540 ms

    540 ms

    Real visitors wait 540 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 90 ms to 81 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.01

    0.01

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 8.9 MB in 210 requests

    8.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.9 MB in 210 requests on a phone: media 6.9 MB (1), scripts 999 KiB (63) and other files 793 KiB (118). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    PUFF-ZERO_360x.png 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).

  • About 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.53 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.53 g of CO₂e: 304.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 9793
  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (5 elements)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 7 form fields without a label

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 7 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. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9278
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (17 characters)

    Your title is only 17 characters: “PUFF BAR OFFICIAL”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (287 characters)

    Your meta description is 287 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 46 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on puffbar.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://puffbar.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 (410 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

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    /collections/puff-us and /collections/all-puff all use the title “PUFF BAR USA | Zero Nicotine Disposables”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /pages/about-puff-bar, /policies/privacy-policy, /policies/refund-policy, /policies/shipping-policy and /policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    /collections/puff-us and /collections/puff-zero use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    /collections/puff-us, /collections/puff-plus-zero, /collections/puff-ultra-zero, /collections/puff-apparel, /collections/new-release and /pages/about-puff-bar and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “MinMaxify is deactivated for this website. Please don't forget to remove minmaxify-head.liquid still being referenced b…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix86
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://puffbar.com/pages/about-puff-bar (network).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://puffbar.com/account.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for puffbar.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://puffbar.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.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 20 days

    puffbar.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

  • No CAA record

    puffbar.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

    puffbar.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 13 years old

    13 years

    puffbar.com was registered in Nov 2012 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • 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 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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.

  • 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 269 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 269 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BUY ZERO”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “PUFF SHOP” and “Shop PUFF Products”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be puffbar.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:mailgun.org include:mail.zendesk.com include:shops.shopify.com include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 29 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 29 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 7 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.

Apps your storefront loads

Seowill Redirects · Pagefly Ai Page Builder · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Cartbite · nofraud.com · powr.io · onetext.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
