Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 711 KiBAbout 711 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.5 s · 696 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (696 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 283 KiB5 images could be 283 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
360 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 360 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.7 s
A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
alia-prod.com adds 303 ms
303 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 303 ms of main-thread work and 469 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 265 ms
265 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 317 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 183 ms
183 msKlaviyo costs a phone 183 ms of main-thread work and 514 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.
1,783 HTML elements
The page has 1,783 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
30 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
30 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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
1 image over 500 KB
2026_BFCM_Asset-Waitlist_Heading.webp weighs 664 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 270 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 270 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (116), other files 760 KiB (107) and images 622 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (929 KiB) 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.12 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.12 g of CO₂e: 134.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (169 characters)
Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
178 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 178 pages on thepuppysphere.com and 11 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Puppy Yoga Classes & Events in The USA | Puppy Sphere”.

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://thepuppysphere.com/sitemap.xml.
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

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thepuppysphere.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 linked pages hidden from search
https://thepuppysphere.com/products/puppy-yoga-hoboken and https://thepuppysphere.com/products/puppy-yoga-lakeview are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://thepuppysphere.com/collections/hoboken-classes and https://thepuppysphere.com/products/puppy-yoga-hoboken all use the title “Hoboken Puppy Yoga Classes | Wellness Puppy Yoga NJ”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages share a meta description
https://thepuppysphere.com/products/class-packs and https://thepuppysphere.com/collections/california-classes use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://thepuppysphere.com/products/puppy-yoga-hoboken and https://thepuppysphere.com/products/puppy-yoga-lakeview have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
6 pages slow to respond

Tap targets are thumb-sized
19 of 20 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 571 words of copy
The homepage carries about 571 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place

Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 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.
22 cookies set on arrival
22Opening the homepage sets 22 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.
50 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 50 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 thepuppysphere.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
