Speed
Improve image delivery
11.3 s · 3.0 MB8 images could be 3.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 11.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.0 s · 841 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (841 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 515 KiBAbout 515 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 15
15/100Your mobile performance score is 15. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 5.4 MB and 339 ms of main-thread time.
Optanon adds 188 ms
188 msOptanon costs a phone 188 ms of main-thread work and 2.1 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 398 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
contentstack.com adds 0 ms
0 mscontentstack.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 3.1 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.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 33.0 s
33.0 sYour largest element takes 33.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Save on Groceries This Season”.

Real-user LCP: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 91% slower for real visitors
+91%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 131 ms to 252 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB in 65 requests
6.8 MBYour homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 65 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (13), scripts 2.9 MB (20) and other files 331 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 2.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
815 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example reckitt-logo.png at 3,840 px wide, shown at 120 px. Resized copies would save about 815 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (2.1 MB) 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
bltf1514a065470e230.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).
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (967 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.92 g of CO₂e: 229.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Every image has alt text
All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (ItemList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("https://www.schiffvitamins.com/static/f2d347387aed3bd37591652144fb400a/blt3c7bfca1c9d…”.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.schiffvitamins.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 (402 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a title
https://www.schiffvitamins.com/collections/brain-health, https://www.schiffvitamins.com/collections/joint-health, https://www.schiffvitamins.com/collections/focus, https://www.schiffvitamins.com/collections/memory, https://www.schiffvitamins.com/collections/immune-support and https://www.schiffvitamins.com/collections/heart-health and 9 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

Best practices
16 small tap targets

2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://use.typekit.net/fcj7ajo.css' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "connect-…”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 382 words of copy
The homepage carries about 382 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: “SHOP BY BENEFIT” and “More SHOP BY BENEFIT”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “SHOP BY BENEFIT”, “More SHOP BY BENEFIT” and “SHOP BY OUR BRANDS”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Phone number on the homepage

Privacy and tracking

1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
