Speed

6 to fix62
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 291 KiB

    About 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

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    850 ms · 111 KiB

    2 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 KiB

    8 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    17 KiB

    17 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 971 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 220 ms

    220 ms

    Scripts 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

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 233 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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 to fixGoogle 8293
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

5 to fix43
  • 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error producing monorail event MonorailRequestError: Error completing request. A network failure may have prevented the…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 39 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 464 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 464 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at rollingbuddy.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
