Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 87 KiBAbout 87 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
1,801 HTML elements
The page has 1,801 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 242 KiB11 images could be 242 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and Shopify and others), adding 313 KiB and 278 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 9 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).
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.

Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 578 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.1 s
6.1 sYour largest element takes 6.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.1 s
6.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
24 images without width and height
24 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 157 ms
157 msScripts block the page for only 157 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 140.2 MB in 221 requests
140.2 MBYour homepage downloads 140.2 MB in 221 requests on a phone: media 138.2 MB (14), other files 759 KiB (94) and images 630 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (39 KiB) is 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 39.7 g of CO₂ per visit
39.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 39.74 g of CO₂e: 4768.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (3 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Shankara.Europe”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (189 characters)
Your meta description is 189 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.
49 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 49 pages on shankara.eu and 6 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.shankara.eu/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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (597 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
https://www.shankara.eu/pages/brand-parntership, https://www.shankara.eu/blogs/news, https://www.shankara.eu/pages/profile-after-sauna, https://www.shankara.eu/pages/profile-frequent-flyers, https://www.shankara.eu/pages/profile-after-sports and https://www.shankara.eu/pages/the-importance-of-oils-in-skincare have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
