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
Reduce unused JavaScript
9.3 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.3 s · 813 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (813 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, crowdhandler.com and Shopify and others), adding 4.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 176 KiBAbout 176 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
YouTube adds 372 ms
372 msYouTube costs a phone 372 ms of main-thread work and 987 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
421 KiB3 images could be 421 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
elfsightcdn.com adds 186 ms
186 mselfsightcdn.com costs a phone 186 ms of main-thread work and 2.1 MB 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.
Shopify adds 256 ms
256 msShopify costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
crowdhandler.com adds 335 ms
335 mscrowdhandler.com costs a phone 335 ms of main-thread work and 88 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,876 HTML elements
The page has 2,876 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
22 KiB22 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Speed Index: 12.0 s
12.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 56% slower for real visitors
+56%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 142 ms to 225 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 343 ms
343 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 343 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 251 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 251 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (71), images 1.4 MB (69) and other files 588 KiB (82). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images far larger than shown
273 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example slabsharksBW-withtext.png at 750 px wide, shown at 50 px. Resized copies would save about 273 KiB.
9 images below the first screen load straight away
9 images further down the page (407 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
5 images in older formats
5 images (313 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 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.56 g of CO₂e: 186.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
21 text elements with low contrast
21 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
10 links without text
10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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 → h6, h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “TAG GRADING – TAG Grading”. 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.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “Trust through Transparency.” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (277 characters)
Your meta description is 277 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
85 internal links, 79 external
The homepage links to 85 pages on taggrading.com and 79 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://taggrading.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://taggrading.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.
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 (1,907 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://taggrading.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and X (Twitter) Ads (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.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

36 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 36 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 taggrading.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 16 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
