Speed

7 to fix50
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 241 KiB

    About 241 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 50

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    895 KiB

    9 images could be 895 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 907 KiB and 752 ms of main-thread time.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 259 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 179 ms

    179 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 43 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    100 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 83 but mobile only 50. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.8 s

    18.8 s

    Your largest element takes 18.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.2 s

    19.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 432 ms

    432 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 432 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 122 ms

    122 ms

    Real visitors wait 122 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 487 ms

    487 ms

    Real visitors wait 487 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 42% faster for real visitors

    -42%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 194 ms to 113 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 34% faster for real visitors

    -34%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 254 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 254 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (51), scripts 1.0 MB (72) and other files 792 KiB (119). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    SW0030141_BRAND_WOMENS_HEALTH_HP_Hero_Banner_MOBILE.jpg 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).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (202 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.07 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9998
  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 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: 51 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 132 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 132 pages on swisse.com.au and 5 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Australia's most trusted vitamin brand, a leader in the wellness space since 1969. Using premium ingredients, backed by…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “HYSTERICAL ABOUT WOMEN'S HEALTH?”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Swisse: Australia's Most Trusted Vitamin Brand | Swisse Wellness”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://swisse.com.au/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: OnlineStore and WebSite.

  • 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://swisse.com.au/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

3 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 (768 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://swisse.com.au/pages/recall has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://swisse.com.au/pages/recall and https://swisse.com.au/pages/nutra have 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 98 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 18 small tap targets

    18 of 61 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 587 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 587 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Book Now” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 swisse.com.au, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
