Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 627 KiBAbout 627 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.0 s
A phone's processor spends 8.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.4 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 (ContentSquare, Shopify and Firebase and others), adding 11.9 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 401 ms
401 msShopify costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 10.1 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.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 627 KiB6 images could be 627 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 775 KiB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (775 KiB).
ContentSquare adds 741 ms
741 msContentSquare costs a phone 741 ms of main-thread work and 185 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
400 ms · 73 KiBAbout 73 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 409 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Firebase adds 341 ms
341 msFirebase costs a phone 341 ms of main-thread work and 10 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.
Klaviyo adds 249 ms
249 msKlaviyo costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.
govx.com adds 262 ms
262 msgovx.com costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 7 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.
2,376 HTML elements
The page has 2,376 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify CSS
250 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 60 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 60 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 120 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 15% slower for real visitors
+15%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.7 MB in 484 requests
16.7 MBYour homepage downloads 16.7 MB in 484 requests on a phone: media 11.1 MB (9), scripts 2.3 MB (236) and images 1.7 MB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Rescue_GIF_Website_GriddleBrush_UsingtheGriddlebrushonaGridd weighs 881 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images in older formats
2 images (1.1 MB) 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.
1 image far larger than shown
211 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Flag_of_the_United_States-optimized.webp at 3,859 px wide, shown at 130 px. Resized copies would save about 211 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (70 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.7 g of CO₂ per visit
4.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.73 g of CO₂e: 568.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
15 tap targets too small
15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (12 characters)
Your title is only 12 characters: “Grill Rescue”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to grillrescue.com, not thegrillrescue.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
Meta description is short (31 characters)
Your meta description is only 31 characters: “The World's Safest Grill Brush.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://grillrescue.com)”.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
53 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 53 pages on thegrillrescue.com and 17 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Rescue”.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (732 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thegrillrescue.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://thegrillrescue.com/policies/refund-policy, https://thegrillrescue.com/policies/privacy-policy and https://thegrillrescue.com/policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
