reliefband.com website review

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

A phone's processor spends 10.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.

12 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 580 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Shopify costs a phone 463 ms of main-thread work and 567 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.

Accessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 488 ms of main-thread work and 250 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.

About 331 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Klaviyo costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 186 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.

Clarity costs a phone 269 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.

The page has 2,219 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (185 KiB).

About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 24.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Your largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.194 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 95 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 414 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (24), other files 1.5 MB (170) and scripts 1.5 MB (187). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example reliefband-wave-motion-sickness.jpg at 4,096 px wide, shown at 354 px. Resized copies would save about 831 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.50 g of CO₂e: 180.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

15 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Nausea. Solved.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 68 pages on reliefband.com and 15 external pages.

https://reliefband.com/products/reliefband%C2%AE-premier-1 is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://reliefband.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://reliefband.com/policies/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://reliefband.com/pages/quiz has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://i.liadm.com/s/85221?&aid=4021c8da-3951-438c-a993-f4eb464644a4&ref=P3NB7MND4&_=0.5899982831273595.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

The homepage carries about 1,126 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 36 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

Loading the homepage contacts 61 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
