Speed

15 to fix49
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 627 KiB

    About 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 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (775 KiB).

  • ContentSquare adds 741 ms

    741 ms

    ContentSquare 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Firebase 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 ms

    Klaviyo 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 ms

    govx.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 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 60 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix56
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “US flag”.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.6 s

    26.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 392 ms

    392 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 392 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix35
  • Page weight: 16.7 MB in 484 requests

    16.7 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 8789
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9278
  • 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

    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://thegrillrescue.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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

1 to fix95
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 17 small tap targets

    17 of 36 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • About 454 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 454 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Best Sellers” and “Shop All”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop Best Sellers”, “Shop All” and “Subscribe”.

  • 10 short forms

    10 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (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.

  • 46 cookies set on arrival

    46

    Opening the homepage sets 46 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.

  • 65 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 65 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions
