Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 119 KiBAbout 119 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 351 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.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 250 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 43 KiB43 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (sealsubscriptions.com, Shopify and Google Fonts), adding 496 KiB and 67 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
66 KiB7 images could be 66 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).

Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 248 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sYour largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 6.6 s
6.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
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.
4 checks passed
Speed Index: 3.0 s
3.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.0 s
1.0 sThe first text or image appears after 1.0 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Allpages.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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.2 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: 1.7 MB in 122 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 122 requests on a phone: other files 619 KiB (65), fonts 413 KiB (3) and images 309 KiB (13). 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
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.
36 images without alt text
36 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails 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.
1 checks passed
50 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: 50 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (6 characters)
Your title is only 6 characters: “Sostox”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
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.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
28 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 28 pages on sostox.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://sostox.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://sostox.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (420 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://sostox.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://sostox.com/pages/about-us, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
8 pages without a meta description
https://sostox.com/collections/all-products, https://sostox.com/pages/contact, https://sostox.com/collections/frontpage, https://sostox.com/policies/privacy-policy, https://sostox.com/policies/refund-policy and https://sostox.com/policies/shipping-policy and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://sostox.com/pages/contact 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 and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 36 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

4 checks passed
