  • 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    About 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

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    5 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 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (645 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    380 KiB

    10 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 ms

    route.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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix52
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.183

    0.183

    The 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 s

    Visually, 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 ms

    Scripts 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.

1 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 27.7 MB in 244 requests

    27.7 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    3 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.

  • About 7.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    7.85 g

    By 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.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8893
  • 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.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 80 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 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.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (307 characters)

    Your meta description is 307 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 124 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 124 pages on rainbowsounds.us and 5 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Rainbow Sounds USA”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Sound Therapy Bowls, Sound Bath Training | Rainbow Sounds USA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://rainbowsounds.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://rainbowsounds.us/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,740 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://rainbowsounds.us/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

8 to fix31
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at rainbowsounds.us, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
