Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

2.6 sReal visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 227 ms
227 msReal visitors wait 227 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 59% slower for real visitors
+59%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 227 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.3 MB
7.3 MBYour homepage downloads 7.3 MB on a phone, 3.2 MB of it images (43%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
S1-1-StayCapable_2x_434d3799-2175-4854-89a0-3eb8a5953d93.web weighs 511 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
10 images in older formats
10 images (1.9 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.
2 images far larger than shown
210 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Hero-FallBack1x.webp at 1,728 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 210 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (153 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.06 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.06 g of CO₂e: 247.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
6 images without alt text
6 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.
44 links without text
44 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
161 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 161 pages on tonal.com and 20 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “Transform your workouts with Tonal, the leader in smart home gym equipment. Get AI-powered training and full-body worko…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Your world. Stronger.”.
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Tonal | Smart Home Gym Equipment and Workout Programs”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://tonal.com/.
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://tonal.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 contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,380 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://tonal.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://tonal.com/collections/performance-shop and https://tonal.com/pages/training-programs have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://tonal.com/pages/member-stories, whose canonical is https://tonal.com/pages/transformations. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
https://tonal.com/collections/performance-shop and https://tonal.com/pages/membership have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed

11 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 35 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 853 words of copy
The homepage carries about 853 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
