Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 707 KiBAbout 707 KiB 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Reduce unused CSS
880 ms · 137 KiBAbout 137 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 880 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Maps and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 2.4 MB and 622 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 88 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (88 KiB).
Squarespace adds 514 ms
514 msSquarespace costs a phone 514 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Adobe TypeKit adds 6 ms
6 msAdobe TypeKit costs a phone 6 ms of main-thread work and 439 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.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 481 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 165 KiB3 images could be 165 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 34 ms
34 msYour server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.0 s
15.0 sYour largest element takes 15.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
First Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

Time to Interactive: 15.1 s

Speed Index: 8.2 s
8.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

219 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 219 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 75 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 75 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (41), images 486 KiB (6) and fonts 431 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
BLK_3322.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Refined Muscles”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
7 H1 headlines
There are 7 <h1> headlines (“Refined Muscles”, “About” and “1-on-1 Training &”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (384 characters)
Your meta description is 384 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e319e62eeb8141410…”.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
32 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 32 pages on refinedmuscles.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.refinedmuscles.com/.
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://www.refinedmuscles.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.refinedmuscles.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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (287 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
https://www.refinedmuscles.com/training-2, https://www.refinedmuscles.com/compare, https://www.refinedmuscles.com/coaches, https://www.refinedmuscles.com/testimonials, https://www.refinedmuscles.com/policies and https://www.refinedmuscles.com/vision and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://www.refinedmuscles.com/policies, https://www.refinedmuscles.com/vision, https://www.refinedmuscles.com/terms-conditions-heights and https://www.refinedmuscles.com/privacypolicy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 227 words
The homepage has only about 227 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.
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.
6 checks passed

Opening hours shown

Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival

1 checks passed

Security, domain, email and software versions
