Speed

11 to fix58
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.3 s · 442 KiB

    About 442 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 186 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (186 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and loox.io and others), adding 958 KiB and 777 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    389 KiB

    16 images could be 389 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 3.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 60 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 60 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,897 HTML elements

    The page has 2,897 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 195 ms

    195 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 195 ms of main-thread work and 294 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 32 KiB

    32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.2 s

    14.2 s

    Your largest element takes 14.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 883 ms

    883 ms

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 268 ms

    268 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 268 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

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 114 ms to 106 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    +8%

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 311 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 311 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (96), other files 868 KiB (144) and images 730 KiB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    hero_mobile.png 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.89 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8391
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    3 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 30 images without alt text

    30 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 52 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: 52 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

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“SPARTAN™” and “Revolutionary Solutions For the Modern Man”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 121 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 121 pages on tryspartan.co and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “SPARTAN™ helps men fight with thinning hair, grey hair, and patchy beards. Visit our store and find all the products fo…”.

  • Title: 34 characters

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://try-spartan.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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,458 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://try-spartan.com/products/spartan-full-growth-system is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://try-spartan.com/products/spartan-full-growth-system 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 33 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load
