Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 329 KiBAbout 329 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 96 KiBAbout 96 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 159 KiB7 images could be 159 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, cloudfront.net and Shopify and others), adding 1.2 MB and 428 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Klaviyo adds 197 ms
197 msKlaviyo costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 612 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: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,782 HTML elements
The page has 1,782 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
31 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (31 KiB).
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 291 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 291 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (73), scripts 1.2 MB (97) and other files 829 KiB (99). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.58 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.58 g of CO₂e: 189.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
23 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (73 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 73 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 78 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 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: 42 passed and 8 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Slightly Buddha — Natural Fiber Comfortwear for Yoga & Everyday Life”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (173 characters)
Your meta description is 173 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
198 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 198 pages on slightlybuddha.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.slightlybuddha.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://www.slightlybuddha.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.slightlybuddha.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 (655 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.slightlybuddha.com/collections/all and https://www.slightlybuddha.com/collections/bamboo-tops have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.slightlybuddha.com/collections/all and https://www.slightlybuddha.com/collections/bamboo-tops have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 249 words
The homepage has only about 249 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
