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
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 88 KiBAbout 88 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 63 KiBAbout 63 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.
1,801 HTML elements
The page has 1,801 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Klaviyo and addons.business and others), adding 519 KiB and 467 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 31 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (31 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 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).
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.
Improve image delivery
4 KiB1 image could be 4 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 279 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 279 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (66), other files 1.0 MB (132) and scripts 613 KiB (60). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.7 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
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
98 links without text
98 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“<img src="//soakwash.com/cdn/shop/files/logo_1024…”, “Gentle laundry soap for the clothes you love.” and “Gentle laundry soap for the clothes you love.”). 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.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
333 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 333 pages on soakwash.com and 20 external pages.

No llms.txt
