Speed

8 to fix62
  • Improve image delivery

    12.2 s · 3.4 MB

    33 images could be 3.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 12.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    930 ms · 195 KiB

    About 195 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 930 ms 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (kustomerapp.com, Impact Radius and ketchcdn.com and others), adding 4.0 MB and 136 ms of main-thread time.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • sanity.io adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    sanity.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.0 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.

  • Cloudinary adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Cloudinary costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.

  • 1,551 HTML elements

    The page has 1,551 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Render-blocking requests

    200 ms

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    24 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (24 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    24 KiB

    About 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.8 s

    22.8 s

    Your largest element takes 22.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Silver stacked bowls with popcorn on a green background”.

  • Time to Interactive: 23.0 s

    23.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 21% slower for real visitors

    +21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 187 ms to 243 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 162 ms

    162 ms

    Real visitors wait 162 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 481 ms

    481 ms

    Real visitors wait 481 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 6.7 MB in 252 requests

    6.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 252 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (42), media 1.8 MB (11) and scripts 703 KiB (132). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    71 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 180a7e4f-11a4-4601-9f6c-7d6bea85e2ff.avif at 640 px wide, shown at 160 px. Resized copies would save about 71 KiB.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.91 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.91 g of CO₂e: 228.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 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.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 7690
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 4 images without alt text

    4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8594
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 86 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 86 pages on sakara.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 121 characters

    Your meta description is 121 characters: “Transform your health with Sakara's nutrition programs & supplements. Get 25% off your first order. Wellness starts her…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “A Holiday FavoriteReturns”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Sakara Life | Plant-Based Nutrition Programs & Supplements”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sakara.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 http://www.sakara.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.sakara.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (456 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.sakara.com/mag and https://www.sakara.com/pages/nutrition-program-compare use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://www.sakara.com/nutrition/detox, https://www.sakara.com/collections/shop-by-collection, https://www.sakara.com/next-week-menu, https://www.sakara.com/pages/about, https://www.sakara.com/pages/sakara-podcast and https://www.sakara.com/pages/the-sakara-promise and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 13 pages with very little text

    https://www.sakara.com/nutrition/detox, https://www.sakara.com/collections/shop-by-collection, https://www.sakara.com/pages/about, https://www.sakara.com/pages/sakara-podcast, https://www.sakara.com/pages/the-sakara-promise and https://www.sakara.com/pages/nutrition-program-compare and 7 others 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 47 small tap targets

    47 of 105 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 540 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 540 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SIGN UP” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “SIGN UP”, “SHOP NOW” and “Sign Up”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Vercel Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

    A consent management tool (Ketch) loads with the page.

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 sakara.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
