Speed

14 to fix41
  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1.7 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: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 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, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 3.8 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 1.7 MB

    About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    946 KiB

    44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (946 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

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

  • Improve image delivery

    462 KiB

    8 images could be 462 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Shopify adds 203 ms

    203 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 876 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.

  • Hotjar adds 254 ms

    254 ms

    Hotjar costs a phone 254 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 259 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 210 ms

    210 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 210 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.

  • ZenDesk adds 186 ms

    186 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 186 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.

  • 1,849 HTML elements

    The page has 1,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 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

    107 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 107 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Your largest element takes 10.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 47.8 s

    47.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 47.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.3 s

    11.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 835 ms

    835 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 835 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 28% slower for real visitors

    +28%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 153 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 3 images without width and height

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

8 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 170 ms

    170 ms

    Real visitors wait 170 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 443 ms

    443 ms

    Real visitors wait 443 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 83.9 MB in 633 requests

    83.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 83.9 MB in 633 requests on a phone: media 73.8 MB (27), scripts 4.2 MB (159) and images 3.9 MB (90). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Glacier_Homepagebanner_Mobile_500x.jpg 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).

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    278 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Glacier_Homepagebanner_Desktop.jpg at 4,096 px wide, shown at 20 px. Resized copies would save about 278 KiB.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (168 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 23.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    23.79 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 23.79 g of CO₂e: 2854.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8590
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 36 links without text

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

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 128 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 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 202 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 202 pages on puffco.com and 15 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 160 characters

    Your meta description is 160 characters: “Puffco is an award winning electric dab rig store and manufacturer offering high tech dab vaporizers and tools. Shop th…”.

  • Title: 47 characters

    Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “Puffco | The Best Dab Rigs & Tools Store Online”.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.puffco.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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.

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.

  • 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 (1,158 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 82 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 5083
  • 12 small tap targets

    12 of 44 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.”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://discord.gg/Puffco.

  • 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 (puffco.com).

  • Valid certificate (81 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for puffco.com and is valid for another 81 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://puffco.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 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    puffco.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 14 years old

    14 years

    puffco.com was registered in Feb 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, ssl.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for puffco.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Feb 2028

    puffco.com is registered until Feb 2028.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 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 464 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 464 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: “Shop Glacier”.

  • 46 calls to action

    The homepage has 46 calls to action, for example “Devices Shop All”, “Shop All” and “Glacier Shop All”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:243581861.spf10.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 mores (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.

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

    Opening the homepage sets 21 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.

  • 68 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 68 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 2.2.4, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
