Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 291 KiBAbout 291 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 111 KiB2 images could be 111 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 103 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (103 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, OptiMonk and Shopify and others), adding 1.0 MB and 337 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 87 ms
87 msShopify costs a phone 87 ms of main-thread work and 552 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.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
17 KiB17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.8 s
14.8 sYour largest element takes 14.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Meet Your New Rolling Buddy”.
Time to Interactive: 14.9 s
14.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.6 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 220 ms
220 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 220 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images 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: 2.9 MB in 233 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 233 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (115), other files 702 KiB (95) and images 697 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 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: 48 passed and 5 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 long (71 characters)
Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Rolling Buddy | Rolling Buddy | Wellness supplement designed for ravers”.
10 H1 headlines
There are 10 <h1> headlines (“<img src="//rollingbuddy.com/cdn/shop/files/TM_1_…”, “Maximize Your Mind” and “Reduce Downtime”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
24 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 24 pages on rollingbuddy.com and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 138 characters
Your meta description is 138 characters: “Meet Rolling Buddy. A Before & After shot designed to protect your brain, heart and liver and reduce recovery time from…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://rollingbuddy.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebSite.
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://rollingbuddy.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 (511 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /instagram.com/rollingbuddybrand, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
8 pages without a meta description
/collections/merch, /pages/about, /pages/the-product, /pages/faq, /pages/contact and /customer_authentication/redirect and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/pages/faq and /customer_authentication/redirect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
/pages/contact and /pages/privacy-policy have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
10 internal pages checked
We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
