Speed
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 830 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,551 HTML elements
The page has 1,551 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and synctrack.io and others), adding 546 KiB and 275 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 79 KiB8 images could be 79 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 71 KiBAbout 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
132 KiBAbout 132 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
87 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (87 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

5.9 sYour largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 177 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 177 requests on a phone: images 855 KiB (48), scripts 671 KiB (45) and other files 618 KiB (65). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 88.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
7 text elements with low contrast
7 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.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 82 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 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
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “Upgraded Formulas®”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (313 characters)
Your meta description is 313 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
229 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 229 pages on upgradedformulas.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.upgradedformulas.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, ImageObject, 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.upgradedformulas.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 5 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers
robots.txt blocks ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
2 checks passed
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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.upgradedformulas.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages share a meta description
https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/all, https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/all/liquid-nano-minerals, https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/all/nano-powder-minerals and https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/all/electrolytes use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

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.
Only about 48 words
The homepage has only about 48 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
