Speed

10 to fix49
  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,342 HTML elements

    The page has 3,342 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, Klaviyo and Clarity and others), adding 7.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 967 ms

    967 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 967 ms of main-thread work and 6.6 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 938 KiB

    About 938 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    617 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (617 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 128 KiB

    About 128 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 222 ms

    222 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 222 ms of main-thread work and 641 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

    150 ms · 107 KiB

    4 images could be 107 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.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 189 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    51 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 477 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 11.0 MB in 446 requests

    11.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 446 requests on a phone: media 5.9 MB (4), scripts 2.5 MB (121) and other files 1.3 MB (236). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.13 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.13 g of CO₂e: 375.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 9089
  • 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.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 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.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 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.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 114 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

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Structured data has 3 problems

    Structured data found (Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.upstateelevator.com/cdn/shop/files/UpstateElevato…”.

  • 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.

  • 334 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 334 pages on upstateelevator.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Upstate Elevator offers clean crafted Vermont CBD + THC products including full-spectrum CBD tinctures, capsules, award…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Upstate Elevator: Clean-Crafted Vermont CBD and THC Products”.

  • Title: 49 characters

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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 3 pages share a meta description

    https://www.upstateelevator.com/pages/sale, https://www.upstateelevator.com/collections/all and https://www.upstateelevator.com/pages/whats-staying use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.upstateelevator.com/pages/sale and https://www.upstateelevator.com/pages/whats-staying have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Fenced Frame API is deprecated and scheduled for removal.”).

  • 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 403 ()”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    24 of 25 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix67
  • 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.

  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 49 words

    The homepage has only about 49 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • 64 calls to action

    The homepage has 64 calls to action, for example “SHOP ALL”, “SHOP BEVERAGES” and “SHOP GUMMIES”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 66 testimonial or review blocks, 14 trust badges and “Over 100,000 Satisfied Customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot, 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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 9 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.

  • 34 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 34 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 upstateelevator.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
