Speed
Improve image delivery
4.2 s · 603 KiB16 images could be 603 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 193 KiBAbout 193 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, recapture.io and shop.app and others), adding 218 KiB and 88 ms of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 77 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
13 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 850 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.3 s
15.3 sYour largest element takes 15.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 15.4 s
15.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.5 s
7.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sThe first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.031
0.031The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.031, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 57 ms
57 msScripts block the page for only 57 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 161 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 161 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (27), other files 647 KiB (65) and scripts 580 KiB (59). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
13 images below the first screen load straight away
13 images further down the page (665 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
8 images far larger than shown
150 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example TapiocaPearl_grande.jpg at 600 px wide, shown at 165 px. Resized copies would save about 150 KiB.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.1 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
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
12 links crawlers can't follow
12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
80 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 80 pages on thebbly.com and 2 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://thebbly.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

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 (533 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thebbly.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://thebbly.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://thebbly.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
7 pages without a meta description
https://thebbly.com/pages/contact, https://thebbly.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://thebbly.com/collections/all, https://thebbly.com/pages/coupons, https://thebbly.com/blogs/news and https://thebbly.com/blogs/recipes and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://thebbly.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 31 testimonial or review blocks. 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.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 608 words of copy
The homepage carries about 608 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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