Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 820 KiBAbout 820 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 663 KiB22 images could be 663 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, Shopify and rechargecdn.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 770 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
601 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (601 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 76 KiBAbout 76 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 352 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
route.com adds 277 ms
277 msroute.com costs a phone 277 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.
Shopify adds 230 ms
230 msShopify costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 526 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.
2,321 HTML elements
The page has 2,321 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 298 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 298 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (84), images 1.5 MB (40) and other files 1.0 MB (150). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
118 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1050x750-1_4c4f3c7b-d240-400e-a555-fb265428e7c2.jpg at 1,050 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 118 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (116 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 153.1 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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
41 images without alt text
41 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 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.
16 links without text
16 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.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings should not be empty (3 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
44 links with vague text
44 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Reef Nutrition | Best Aquarium Food for a Healthy Spectacular Tank”.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“TDO For Freshwater Animals”, “TDO For Saltwater Animals” and “20 Years”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (315 characters)
Your meta description is 315 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//reefnutrition.com/cdn/shop/files/rn_logo_large_58644d…”.
7 links crawlers can't follow
7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
383 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 383 pages on reefnutrition.com and 9 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://reefnutrition.com/.

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://reefnutrition.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness

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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,121 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://reefnutrition.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 95 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 1,597 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,597 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

15 cookies set on arrival
15Opening the homepage sets 15 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 reefnutrition.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
