Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 405 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (405 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 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 (frontapp.com, Google Tag Manager and replocdn.com and others), adding 3.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
520 ms · 174 KiBAbout 174 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 520 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
459 KiB7 images could be 459 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
frontapp.com adds 331 ms
331 msfrontapp.com costs a phone 331 ms of main-thread work and 687 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 307 ms
307 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 307 ms of main-thread work and 509 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.
Shopify adds 184 ms
184 msShopify costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 299 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
replocdn.com adds 262 ms
262 msreplocdn.com costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 290 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.
2,113 HTML elements
The page has 2,113 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 24.8 s
24.8 sYour largest element takes 24.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Two massage guns in black and gray against a blue backgroun…”.
Time to Interactive: 25.4 s
25.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 25.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 7.3 s
7.3 sThe first text or image appears after 7.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.8 s
10.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 389 ms
389 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 389 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors
+17%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 122 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.

Largest content (LCP) got 16% faster for real visitors
-16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.4 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 299 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 299 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (71), images 1.2 MB (36) and other files 1,015 KiB (166). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.46 g of CO₂e: 174.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Your title is only 10 characters: “Pulsio USA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
49 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 49 pages on pulsio.us and 13 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 126 characters
Your meta description is 126 characters: “Pulsio sets a new benchmark in muscle recovery with its range of exceptionally high quality recovery devices and massag…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Pulsio USA”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://pulsio.us/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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://pulsio.us/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://pulsio.us/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-ice declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-ice all use the title “Pulsio USA”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages without a meta description
https://pulsio.us/pages/refunds-and-returns and https://pulsio.us/pages/faq have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-air, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-elite, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-compression, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-tens-pod and https://pulsio.us/pages/faq have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages with very little text
https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-air, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-elite, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-compression and https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-ice 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.
4 pages slow to respond
https://pulsio.us/products/recovery-extension-set, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-tens-electrode-pad, https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-knee-support and https://pulsio.us/products/pulsio-hydro-bottle took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

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.
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.
Only about 10 words
The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
6 checks passed
15 calls to action
The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Shop” and “Shop ALL RECOVERY”.
12 short forms
12 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
