Speed

13 to fix37
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    1.1 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.1 s).

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 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 (zaapi.com, rebuyengine.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 133 KiB

    About 133 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • zaapi.com adds 599 ms

    599 ms

    zaapi.com costs a phone 599 ms of main-thread work and 682 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 291 KiB

    14 images could be 291 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 402 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (402 KiB).

  • 2,770 HTML elements

    The page has 2,770 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 146 ms

    146 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 146 ms of main-thread work and 685 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.

  • gotolstoy.com adds 108 ms

    108 ms

    gotolstoy.com costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 48 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 27 ms

    27 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix33
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “US_BFCM_Main_DTC_Home_Mobile_copy.jpg”.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.8 s

    30.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.297

    0.297

    The layout shifts by 0.297 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 491 ms

    491 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 491 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 5.9 MB in 304 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 304 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (106), fonts 1.5 MB (41) and images 1.2 MB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Purestnest_Hero_mobile.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (39 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (80 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.5 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

4 to fixGoogle 9494
  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

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

  • 2 images without alt text

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

  • 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 checks passed
  • 52 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: 52 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10086
  • Meta description is long (239 characters)

    Your meta description is 239 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (OnlineStore, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://thepurest.co)”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 174 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 174 pages on thepurest.us and 18 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Wellness, Well Made | The Purest Co (US) Official Store”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://us.thepurest.co/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at http://thepurest.us/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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,204 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://us.thepurest.co/pages/reviews has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages share a meta description

    https://us.thepurest.co/collections/all, https://us.thepurest.co/collections/bundles, https://us.thepurest.co/pages/our-story, https://us.thepurest.co/pages/the-purest-promise, https://us.thepurest.co/blogs/news and https://us.thepurest.co/pages/awards and 1 other use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    https://us.thepurest.co/pages/awards and https://us.thepurest.co/pages/loyalty-program took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 27 small tap targets

    27 of 64 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 8 distorted images

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 816 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 816 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 60 calls to action

    The homepage has 60 calls to action, for example “SHOP NOW”, “shop all” and “shop bundles”.

  • 27 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 23 testimonial or review blocks and “OVER 132,000+ HAPPY CUSTOMERS”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • 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
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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.

  • 26 cookies set on arrival

    26

    Opening the homepage sets 26 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.

  • 48 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 48 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 thepurest.us, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
