Speed

11 to fix35
  • Main-thread work: 17.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 17.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Shopify costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 748 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 35

    35/100

    Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 4,985 HTML elements

    The page has 4,985 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, replocdn.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.8 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 798 KiB

    About 798 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • replocdn.com adds 495 ms

    495 ms

    replocdn.com costs a phone 495 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 483 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 92 KiB

    About 92 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 162 ms

    162 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 162 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    238 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (238 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    49 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    13 KiB

    2 images could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix36
  • Speed Index: 23.7 s

    23.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 23.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 25.4 s

    25.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Your largest element takes 6.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “4.85 / 5.0 | Based on 1,700+ Reviews Same Ritual. Zero Nic.…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 314 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 314 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (152), other files 1.1 MB (107) and images 602 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (55 KiB) is 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (79 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.20 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 143.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8894
  • 29 text elements with low contrast

    29 text elements don'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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (146 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 146 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

1 checks passed
  • 50 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: 50 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

4 to fixGoogle 9280
  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “PURE | Zero Nic Plant-Powered Diffusers & Nootropic Pouches – Pure”.

  • Canonical points to another host

    Your canonical URL points to purediffuserco.com, not thepurebars.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

  • Meta description is long (192 characters)

    Your meta description is 192 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Organization and Product) but with 2 problems, for example “Product: missing name”.

  • 6 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 6 pages on thepurebars.com and 3 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Pure”.

  • 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://thepurebars.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,101 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://thepurebars.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://thepurebars.com/collections/pouches, https://thepurebars.com/collections/pure-ultra and https://thepurebars.com/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://thepurebars.com/collections/pouches, https://thepurebars.com/collections/pure-ultra and https://thepurebars.com/collections/all have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://thepurebars.com/collections/pouches, https://thepurebars.com/collections/pure-ultra and https://thepurebars.com/collections/all have 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.

  • 3 internal pages checked

    We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 3 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 3 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 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 1,192 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,192 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop Pouches”, “Shop Diffusers” and “Contact”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and “1,700+ Reviews”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 4 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.

  • 45 cookies set on arrival

    45

    Opening the homepage sets 45 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.

  • 56 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 56 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 thepurebars.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
