Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 651 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (651 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 772 KiBAbout 772 KiB 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.
Main-thread work: 13.0 s
A phone's processor spends 13.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. 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 (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and Clarity and others), adding 1.6 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
1.9 MB16 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 941 ms
941 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 941 ms of main-thread work and 705 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.
JSDelivr CDN adds 923 ms
923 msJSDelivr CDN costs a phone 923 ms of main-thread work and 38 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.
Clarity adds 459 ms
459 msClarity costs a phone 459 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.
Facebook adds 290 ms
290 msFacebook costs a phone 290 ms of main-thread work and 284 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 278 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,747 HTML elements
The page has 1,747 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
90 ms · 11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
90 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 22.9 s
22.9 sYour largest element takes 22.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 18.5 s
18.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 18.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 35.3 s
35.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 35.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 997 ms
997 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 997 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.5 s
2.5 sReal visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.23
0.23For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.23 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 173 ms to 192 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.1 MB in 418 requests
8.1 MBYour homepage downloads 8.1 MB in 418 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (57), scripts 2.2 MB (120) and other files 919 KiB (182). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images over 500 KB
5 images weigh 7.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
15 images far larger than shown
7.0 MB15 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Dog-diffuser.webp at 2,934 px wide, shown at 302 px. Resized copies would save about 7.0 MB.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (6.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
11 images in older formats
11 images (6.2 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Homepage_3_1.webp 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).
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.30 g of CO₂e: 276.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (2 elements)
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “TheraPetMD — Create A Peaceful, Stress-Free Environment For Your Pet!”.
Meta description is long (269 characters)
Your meta description is 269 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
51 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 51 pages on therapetmd.com and 17 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://therapetmd.com/en-us.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://therapetmd.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 6 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
3 checks passed
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
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,233 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://therapetmd.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
6 pages share 3 titles
https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/aboutus and https://therapetmd.com/pages/aboutus all use the title “About TheraPet – TheraPetMD”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
11 pages share a meta description
https://therapetmd.com/collections/all, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/policies/shipping-policy, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/collections/dog, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/collections/cat, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/faqs and https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/tracking-page and 3 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
4 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://therapetmd.com/collections/all, whose canonical is https://therapetmd.com/en-us/collections/all. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
5 pages without an H1
https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/faqs, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/aboutus, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/tracking-page, https://therapetmd.com/pages/tracking-page and https://therapetmd.com/pages/aboutus have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
12 pages with very little text
https://therapetmd.com/collections/all, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/collections/dog, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/collections/cat, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/faqs, https://therapetmd.com/en-us/pages/aboutus and https://therapetmd.com/pages/aboutus and 6 others 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
