Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 397 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (397 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 127 KiBAbout 127 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Google Analytics and myminicart.pro and others), adding 374 KiB and 144 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 17 KiB2 images could be 17 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).
Legacy JavaScript
45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Speed Index: 4.9 s
4.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
1 image without width and height

0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 179 ms to 179 ms 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.

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 48.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 104 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 104 requests on a phone: other files 596 KiB (31), scripts 558 KiB (47) and images 224 KiB (17). 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
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (17 characters)
Your title is only 17 characters: “PulseScooters.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://pulsescooters.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
36 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on pulsescooters.com and 2 external pages.
2 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.pulsescooters.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://pulsescooters.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.
1 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.
Other pages
11 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://pulsescooters.com/pages/about-us, https://pulsescooters.com/pages/media, https://pulsescooters.com/collections/kick-scooters/products/ppp-patriotic-2-wheel-folding-scooter, https://pulsescooters.com/collections/kick-scooters/products/ppp-patriotic-3-wheel-leaning-scooter, https://pulsescooters.com/collections/kick-scooters/products/ppp-3-wheel-leaning-scooter-light-pink and https://pulsescooters.com/collections/ride-ons/products/nypd-12v-police-car-ride-on and 5 others, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

Content and conversion
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.
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.
Only about 147 words
The homepage has only about 147 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
