Speed

4 to fix78
  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    3 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 KiB

    8 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 132 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    87 KiB

    9 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 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    8 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 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.

  • Server response: 45 ms

    45 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 45 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Your 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

11 checks passed

  • Real-user TTFB: 683 ms

    683 ms

    Real visitors wait 683 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 23% faster for real visitors

    -23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 5 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 177 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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 to fixGoogle 9191
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • 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

1 to fix77
  • 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.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 linked pages hidden from search

    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 are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. 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.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://www.upgradedformulas.com/products/hair-kit-test, https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/nano-minerals, https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/all/nano-powder-minerals and https://www.upgradedformulas.com/collections/all/electrolytes took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 8 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

Content and conversion

3 to fix82
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “SHOP BY BENEFIT” and “SHOP ALL PRODUCTS”.

  • 14 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 19 testimonial or review blocks and “Trusted by 110,100+ Happy Customers”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 13 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.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions
