• Google's speed test didn't respond

  Google's speed test didn't respond for this site, so speed and Core Web Vitals are not measured here. Your full playbook measures them.

Not measured in this review.

• Page weight: 2.3 MB

  2.3 MB

  Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB on a phone, 495 KiB of it images (21%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• 1 image far larger than shown

  15 KiB

  1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example gi-revive-thumbnail.png at 600 px wide, shown at 170 px. Resized copies would save about 15 KiB.

  Elements (1)

• 7 images below the first screen load straight away

  7 images further down the page (285 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  Elements (5)

• About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

  0.66 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 4 buttons without a name

  4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  Elements (3)

• 18 text elements with low contrast

  18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  Elements (3)

• 6 tap targets too small

  6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  Elements (3)

• Hidden but focusable

  2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  Elements (2)

• Frames without titles

  1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  Elements (1)

• <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

  <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• 9 images without alt text

  9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  View sourceElements (3)

• All page content should be contained by landmarks (55 elements)

  All page content should be contained by landmarks: 55 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

• 8 links without text

  8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  Elements (3)

• 1 form field without a label

  1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  View source

• No page language

  The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  View source

• Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)

  Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

• Headings skip levels

  Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  View sourceElements (2)

• Title is long (79 characters)

  Your title is 79 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Healing Crohns Disease and Colitis Naturally From Home – CrohnsColitisLifestyle”.

  View source

• No structured data

  No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

• Meta description is short (54 characters)

  Your meta description is only 54 characters: “Healing Crohns Disease and Colitis Naturally From Home”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  View source

• 5 H1 headlines

  There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Categories”, “<img src="//theibdshop.com/cdn/shop/files/IBDSHOP…” and “Categories”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  View source

• 240 internal links, 8 external

  The homepage links to 240 pages on theibdshop.com and 8 external pages.

• 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.

• 15 internal pages checked

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 84 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 21 small tap targets

  21 of 71 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• 2 JavaScript errors while loading

  2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'global_config')”.

• 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: 143 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

• About 2,695 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 2,695 words of visible text.

• 4 trackers load before any consent

  4

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

• 12 cookies set on arrival

  12

  Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

• 31 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
