Speed

4 to fix65
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.2 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.

  • 3,738 HTML elements

    The page has 3,738 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 KiB

    5 images could be 200 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 22 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    About 21 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and shop.app), adding 323 KiB and 74 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 ms · 11 KiB

    About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 ms · 4 KiB

    4 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 482 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 217 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 217 requests on a phone: images 698 KiB (56), other files 671 KiB (70) and scripts 498 KiB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 71.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9292
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 739 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9272
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (110 characters)

    Your title is 110 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “True Botanica |Nutritional Supplements-Herbal Tinctures-Natural Health – True Botanica Nu…”.

  • Meta description is long (273 characters)

    Your meta description is 273 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 97 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 97 pages on truebotanica.com and 5 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://truebotanica.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,384 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://truebotanica.com/collections/cosmetics, https://truebotanica.com/collections/foods, https://truebotanica.com/collections/homeopathic-anthroposophic-otc-drugs, https://truebotanica.com/collections/organ-remedies, https://truebotanica.com/collections/radix-remedies and https://truebotanica.com/collections/7-metal-remedies and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://truebotanica.com/collections/tablets-capsules-powders took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 394 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 394 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Subscribe” and “Learn more”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact Us” and “Subscribe”.

  • 5 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 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 truebotanica.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
