3,139 HTML elements
The page has 3,139 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, Google CDN and Clarity and others), adding 25.5 MB and 768 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 74 ms
74 msShopify costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 24.3 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 720 KiBAbout 720 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 645 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (645 KiB).
Improve image delivery
380 KiB10 images could be 380 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
route.com adds 195 ms
195 msroute.com costs a phone 195 ms of main-thread work and 542 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 CDN adds 134 ms
134 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 296 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 231 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
55 KiBAbout 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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: 8.1 s
8.1 sYour largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 18.0 s
18.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.183
0.183The layout shifts by 0.183 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 4.0 s
4.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
13 images without width and height
13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 202 ms
202 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 202 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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
Page weight: 27.7 MB in 244 requests
27.7 MBYour homepage downloads 27.7 MB in 244 requests on a phone: media 24.2 MB (2), scripts 1.5 MB (71) and images 868 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
190 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Auckland-training2_c04dbccc-182a-41cc-a5ad-f8033835fc4a.jpg at 900 px wide, shown at 129 px. Resized copies would save about 190 KiB.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (313 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

7.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.85 g of CO₂e: 942.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

Every image has alt text

51 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: 51 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.

Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/crystal-singing-bowls-all, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
https://rainbowsounds.us/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://rainbowsounds.us/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/online-training/app_extension and https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/online-training all use the title “Online training”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without a meta description
https://rainbowsounds.us/apps/my/courses/list, https://rainbowsounds.us/blogs/rainbow-sounds-blog, https://rainbowsounds.us/customer_authentication/redirect and https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/best-sellers have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/online-training/app_extension and https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/online-training use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/online-training/app_extension, whose canonical is https://rainbowsounds.us/collections/online-training. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
6 pages without an H1
https://rainbowsounds.us/apps/my/courses/list, https://rainbowsounds.us/pages/sound-demo, https://rainbowsounds.us/pages/faq, https://rainbowsounds.us/pages/care-guide, https://rainbowsounds.us/pages/contact and https://rainbowsounds.us/customer_authentication/redirect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
