Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 3.7 MB126 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 975 KiBAbout 975 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 14.2 s
A phone's processor spends 14.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 9.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 27
27/100Your mobile performance score is 27 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,831 HTML elements
The page has 3,831 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 (Google Tag Manager, Yotpo and Klaviyo and others), adding 3.2 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 815 ms
815 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 815 ms of main-thread work and 648 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 648 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Yotpo adds 458 ms
458 msYotpo costs a phone 458 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
Minify JavaScript
450 ms · 29 KiB29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Klaviyo adds 303 ms
303 msKlaviyo costs a phone 303 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 265 ms
265 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 293 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
240 KiB15 images could be 240 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 75 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 75 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
36 KiBAbout 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 54 but mobile only 27. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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 CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.5 MB in 431 requests
9.5 MBYour homepage downloads 9.5 MB in 431 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (143), scripts 2.7 MB (124) and other files 797 KiB (135). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Christmas26_Gifting_02_Hero_MOB.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 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit
2.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.69 g of CO₂e: 323.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.rodial.com/pages/subscribe-and-save has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
