Speed

10 to fix47
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.5 s · 935 KiB

    About 935 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.5 s · 504 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (504 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47. 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 (alia-prod.com, cloudfront.net and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    550 ms · 77 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 77 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • alia-prod.com adds 349 ms

    349 ms

    alia-prod.com costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 470 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • cloudfront.net adds 209 ms

    209 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 553 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 118 ms

    118 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 398 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

    250 ms · 71 KiB

    6 images could be 71 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 168 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    140 ms · 13 KiB

    About 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    120 ms · 12 KiB

    12 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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: 23.3 s

    23.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 396 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 192 ms to 188 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 154 ms

    154 ms

    Real visitors wait 154 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 380 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 380 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (123), other files 943 KiB (179) and images 804 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (127 KiB) 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.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.32 g of CO₂e: 157.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9093
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

    10 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.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Betterbrand | Doctor-Formulated Lung Support Supplements with Mullein”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Betterbrand” and “Pharmacy-formulated for clearer lungs & more ener…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 47 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 47 pages on trybetterbrand.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Ordinary supplements just weren't cutting it, so we made them better. Betterbrand ingredients are supported by testing,…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.trybetterbrand.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://www.trybetterbrand.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.trybetterbrand.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: 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 (1,140 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.trybetterbrand.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    1 page of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 11 trackers load before any consent

    11

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 6 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.

  • 51 cookies set on arrival

    51

    Opening the homepage sets 51 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 69 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 69 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions
