Speed

8 to fix65
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 374 KiB

    About 374 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: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Optanon and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 677 KiB and 601 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 68 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (68 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 256 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,750 HTML elements

    The page has 1,750 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 31 KiB

    5 images could be 31 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 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.

  • 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: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 688 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 323 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

100
  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (63 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.45 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.6 MB in 52 requests

    1.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 52 requests on a phone: scripts 749 KiB (8), images 576 KiB (26) and fonts 189 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9796
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 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.

  • 268 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 268 pages on sensoryeffects.com and 4 external pages.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,723 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://balchem.com/llms.txt (10 KiB, 86 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://balchem.com/hnh/markets/bakery/baked-goods, whose canonical is https://balchem.com/hnh/fb/shure-brands/bakeshure. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 1,077 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,077 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

  • Phone number on the homepage

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
