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
Improve image delivery
2.9 s · 679 KiB13 images could be 679 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
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 · 497 KiBAbout 497 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, loox.io and bestfreecdn.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 541 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 341 ms
341 msShopify costs a phone 341 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
402 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (402 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 812 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,656 HTML elements
The page has 2,656 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 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.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.9 s
8.9 sYour largest element takes 8.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Finest THCA Flower For Sale Online”.
Time to Interactive: 13.2 s
13.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 130 ms to 145 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 13% slower for real visitors
+13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 17.1 MB in 217 requests
17.1 MBYour homepage downloads 17.1 MB in 217 requests on a phone: media 13.3 MB (4), images 1.7 MB (21) and scripts 1.0 MB (58). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
399 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example tk-logo-new-3.png at 1,254 px wide, shown at 165 px. Resized copies would save about 399 KiB.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (250 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.8 g of CO₂ per visit
4.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.84 g of CO₂e: 580.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
117 text elements with low contrast
117 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 images without alt text
4 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.
Headings should not be empty (8 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (82 characters)
Your title is 82 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Buy Premium THCA Flower, Small Buds & Vape Carts At The Lowest Prices! – THCA King”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “The Finest THCA Flower For Sale Online”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
132 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 132 pages on thcaking.com and 5 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters
Your meta description is 156 characters: “THCA King: high THCA flower, small buds, pre-rolls and vape carts at some of the lowest prices in the USA. Lab tested f…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thcaking.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization 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://thcaking.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 (1,875 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thcaking.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://thcaking.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://thcaking.com/products/thca-snowballs declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://thcaking.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://thcaking.com/products/thca-snowballs all use the title “Buy Premium THCA Flower, Small Buds & Vape Carts At The Lowest Prices…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
https://thcaking.com/collections/all, https://thcaking.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://thcaking.com/policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://thcaking.com/customer_authentication/redirect 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 (of 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. 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.
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.

The homepage carries about 1,704 words of visible text.
Urgency cues

2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

10 other companies contacted

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 thcaking.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
