Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
3,010 HTML elements
The page has 3,010 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 512 KiB15 images could be 512 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Cloudflare CDN and Clarity and others), adding 858 KiB and 537 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 374 KiBAbout 374 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 282 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (282 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 138 ms
138 msKlaviyo costs a phone 138 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 43 KiBAbout 43 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 73 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.4 MB in 249 requests
7.4 MBYour homepage downloads 7.4 MB in 249 requests on a phone: media 3.8 MB (1), images 1.2 MB (47) and scripts 1.2 MB (90). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.10 g of CO₂e: 252.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
3 buttons without a name
3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
49 images without alt text
49 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
65 form fields without a label
65 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and 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 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Urth | Tools for photographers. Engineered in Australia | Urth USA”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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.
169 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 169 pages on urth.co and 9 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “Discover lens filters, camera adapters, backpacks, straps, and more from Urth—engineered in Australia to deliver precis…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Engineered for photographers”.
Canonical URL set

Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://urth.co/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,324 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://urth.co/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://urth.co/collections/all and https://urth.co/collections/lens-filters-1 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
