Speed
Main-thread work: 8.9 s
A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
67.6 MB48 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (67.6 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and TikTok and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 861 ms
861 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 861 ms of main-thread work and 746 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 JavaScript
831 KiBAbout 831 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
785 KiB11 images could be 785 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 519 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 260 ms
260 msKlaviyo costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
84 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 84 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 72.2 MB in 329 requests
72.2 MBYour homepage downloads 72.2 MB in 329 requests on a phone: media 67.2 MB (18), scripts 2.2 MB (122) and images 1.2 MB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
os-hero-bags.webp weighs 1.0 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
8 images far larger than shown
984 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example os-hero-bags.webp at 1,600 px wide, shown at 318 px. Resized copies would save about 984 KiB.
8 images in older formats
8 images (2.2 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.
About 20.5 g of CO₂ per visit
20.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 20.47 g of CO₂e: 2455.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores 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.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
68 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 68 pages on theonlybean.com and 3 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 116 characters

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://theonlybean.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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 (1,061 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://theonlybean.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://theonlybean.com/policies, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
4 pages without a meta description
https://theonlybean.com/policies/privacy-policy, https://theonlybean.com/policies/refund-policy, https://theonlybean.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://theonlybean.com/policies/subscription-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
https://theonlybean.com/pages/wholesale has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
10 internal pages checked
