Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 995 KiBAbout 995 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: 16.5 s
A phone's processor spends 16.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8,893 HTML elements
The page has 8,893 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 3.0 MB28 images could be 3.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and corso.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 530 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (530 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
800 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 718 ms
718 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 718 ms of main-thread work and 322 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 556 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Accessibe Accessibility Overlay adds 409 ms
409 msAccessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 250 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.
corso.com adds 323 ms
323 mscorso.com costs a phone 323 ms of main-thread work and 126 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.
Curalate adds 276 ms
276 msCuralate costs a phone 276 ms of main-thread work and 287 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.
Shopify adds 260 ms
260 msShopify costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 143 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.
Minify JavaScript
162 KiB162 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
Page weight: 18.4 MB in 386 requests
18.4 MBYour homepage downloads 18.4 MB in 386 requests on a phone: media 9.1 MB (2), images 5.5 MB (89) and scripts 2.7 MB (126). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
9 images far larger than shown
1.6 MB9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Trubar_Wrapper_Peppermint.png at 4,000 px wide, shown at 176 px. Resized copies would save about 1.6 MB.
11 images below the first screen load straight away
11 images further down the page (2.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 5.2 g of CO₂ per visit
5.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.21 g of CO₂e: 625.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
2 dropdowns have no label.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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 (20 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 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 (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “TRUBAR Protein Bars | Plant-Based, All-Natural Ingredients – TRUBRANDS”.
Meta description is long (199 characters)
Your meta description is 199 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
85 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 85 pages on trubar.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.trubar.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Brand, BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness, Organization and WebPage.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.trubar.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.trubar.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
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 (577 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://sp.analytics.yahoo.com/sp.pl?a=10000&d=Sat%2C%2007%20Nov%202026%2014%3A46%3A49%20GMT&n=0&b=TRUBAR%20Protein%20Bars%20%7C%20Plant-Based%2C%20All-Natural%20Ingredients%20%E2%80%93%20TRUBRANDS&.y.
12 small tap targets
12 of 48 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
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 569 words of copy
The homepage carries about 569 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
32 cookies set on arrival
32Opening the homepage sets 32 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
65 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 65 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: Cookiebot
A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
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 trubar.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 21 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
