Visit site (opens in a new tab)Reviewed 11 November 202617 issues · 55 checks

This review found 17 issues worth fixing on smackpetfood.com, 3 of them high impact, across 55 checks. The most urgent: 23 text elements with low contrast. Google's speed test didn't respond, so speed is not measured here; your full playbook measures it. Your full playbook turns these into prioritised fixes alongside reviews, competitors and channels.

6 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.6 MB

    3.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB on a phone, 451 KiB of it images (12%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    New_Website_Homepage_Banner_Mobil_1.png 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).

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.01 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 120.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images 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

4 to fix94
  • 23 text elements with low contrast

    23 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h3 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 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

3 to fix85
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Smack Pet Food | Raw Dehydrated Dog & Cat Food – Smack Pet Food Inc.”.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “Raw Dehydrated Superfood with Scoop & Serve Conve…” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 70 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 70 pages on smackpetfood.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

    Your meta description is 137 characters: “Raw nutrition with scoop-and-serve convenience. Smack makes raw dehydrated dog and cat food from whole meats, organs an…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.smackpetfood.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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.smackpetfood.com/sitemap.xml.

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: 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 (873 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.smackpetfood.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix62
  • 1 page without a title

    https://www.smackpetfood.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.smackpetfood.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.smackpetfood.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.smackpetfood.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 32 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

Best practices

2 to fix87
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 24 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “_uxa is not defined”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93
  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • About 688 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 688 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more” and “Shop best sellers”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop Dog”, “Go to Shop Dog” and “Shop Cat”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 28 cookies set on arrival

    28

    Opening the homepage sets 28 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 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 smackpetfood.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Your storefront loads 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
