Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 2.3 MB33 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Bold Commerce, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.8 MB and 875 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
757 KiBAbout 757 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 598 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (598 KiB).
Bold Commerce adds 314 ms
314 msBold Commerce costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 741 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.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 254 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 204 ms
204 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 328 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.
1,502 HTML elements
The page has 1,502 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 94 ms
94 msKlaviyo costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 315 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
81 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 81 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.0 MB in 327 requests
7.0 MBYour homepage downloads 7.0 MB in 327 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (59), scripts 2.0 MB (94) and other files 885 KiB (145). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
33 images in older formats
33 images (4.0 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.
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.97 g of CO₂e: 236.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 70 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“SeaBear Smokehouse | Discover the Finest Smoked S…”, “GIFTS THEY'LL ACTUALLY WANT” and “GIFTS THEY'LL ACTUALLY WANT”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (185 characters)
Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
91 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 91 pages on seabear.com and 7 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 64 characters
Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “SeaBear Smokehouse | Discover the Finest Smoked Salmon & Seafood”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://seabear.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 https://seabear.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 (807 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
2 pages without a meta description
/pages/gift-guide and /collections/crab-market have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343007247&Ver=2&mid=8f1065de-99a1-463f-81e9-ca2cc13f2070&bo=1&sid=b5056060dca411f190a7bba49018f20a&vid=b5058e00dca411f18b03f3da1f87dda8&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.
20 small tap targets
20 of 77 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.
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.
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 map or directions link

The homepage carries about 770 words of visible text.

51 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 51 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 seabear.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
