Render-blocking requests
1.1 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
3,446 HTML elements
The page has 3,446 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
820 ms · 510 KiBAbout 510 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 820 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. 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 (loox.io, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 766 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 53 KiBAbout 53 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
loox.io adds 259 ms
259 msloox.io costs a phone 259 ms of main-thread work and 713 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 · 142 KiB7 images could be 142 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 139 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (139 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 284 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 284 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (120), images 1.2 MB (38) and other files 801 KiB (102). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
11.webp 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).
4 images in older formats
4 images (439 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (29 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Rich Sol Foods”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“.logo_image { max-height: unset!important; width:…” and “.logo_image { max-height: unset!important; width:…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (170 characters)
Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
88 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 88 pages on richsolfoods.ca and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://richsolfoods.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://richsolfoods.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (2,605 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://richsolfoods.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://richsolfoods.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://richsolfoods.com/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://richsolfoods.com/collections/high-grade-healing/products/irishseamoss and https://richsolfoods.com/products/irishseamoss all use the title “Wildcrafted Irish Sea Moss from St. Lucia | Rich Sol Foods”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
7 pages without a meta description
https://richsolfoods.com/collections/all, https://richsolfoods.com/collections/high-grade-healing, https://richsolfoods.com/collections/seaweeds, https://richsolfoods.com/collections/mens-health, https://richsolfoods.com/a/blog and https://richsolfoods.com/pages/about-us-1 and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://richsolfoods.com/collections/high-grade-healing/products/irishseamoss and https://richsolfoods.com/products/irishseamoss use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
6 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 6 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://richsolfoods.com/collections/high-grade-healing/products/herb-cycling-womb-healing-bundle-home-remedies-for-menstrual-cramps, whose canonical is https://richsolfoods.com/products/herb-cycling-womb-healing-bundle-home-remedies-for-menstrual-cramps. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://richsolfoods.com/customer_authentication/redirect has 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 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
