usehuron.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 444 KiB9 images could be 444 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 13.2 s
A phone's processor spends 13.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, alia-prod.com and Facebook and others), adding 3.4 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
alia-prod.com adds 766 ms
766 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 766 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 836 ms
836 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 836 ms of main-thread work and 774 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 JavaScript
648 KiBAbout 648 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
414 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (414 KiB).
2,821 HTML elements
The page has 2,821 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 275 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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: 6.0 MB in 428 requests
6.0 MBYour homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 428 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (28), scripts 2.0 MB (91) and other files 1.6 MB (294). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
LDW_Homepage.webp 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (77 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.71 g of CO₂e: 205.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 buttons without a name
7 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
15 images without alt text
15 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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. (6 elements).

43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (75 characters)
Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Huron - Where performance meets luxury scents and clean ingredients · Huron”.
Meta description is long (263 characters)
Your meta description is 263 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
81 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 81 pages on usehuron.com and 12 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (818 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
9 pages share a meta description
/collections/best-sellers-collection, /collections/deodorant, /collections/citrus-eucalyptus, /collections/seasalt-driftwood, /collections/sandalwood-amber and /collections/cypress-vetiver and 3 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Short HSTS lifetime

No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

usehuron.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: “400,000+ Customers”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.

The homepage carries about 336 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
