Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.8 s · 710 KiBAbout 710 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
550 ms · 1.2 MB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, alia-prod.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.5 MB and 926 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 600 ms
600 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 600 ms of main-thread work and 815 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 71 KiBAbout 71 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
alia-prod.com adds 154 ms
154 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 154 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 146 KiB6 images could be 146 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
80 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

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
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 6 failed. 2 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.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (26 characters)
Your title is only 26 characters: “Spicy Cubes Official Store”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
31 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 31 pages on spicycubes.com and 2 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.spicycubes.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.spicycubes.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.spicycubes.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 (620 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.spicycubes.com/manage is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/our-ingredients, https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/faqs, https://www.spicycubes.com/manage, https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/promote-our-brand and https://www.spicycubes.com/policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/our-ingredients, https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/faqs, https://www.spicycubes.com/manage and https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/promote-our-brand have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.spicycubes.com/pages/promote-our-brand has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
