Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 303 KiBAbout 303 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 708 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 69 KiBAbout 69 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 46 KiB2 images could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shopapps.site and hulkapps.com and others), adding 327 KiB and 191 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
26 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26 KiB).
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.

Images and page weight
5 images in older formats
5 images (498 KiB) are 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 62.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 122 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 122 requests on a phone: other files 700 KiB (65), scripts 501 KiB (36) and images 351 KiB (8). That is a lean page.
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 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Buy Cheap UK E-Liquid - Online Vape Shop | Vapegoo — VapeGoo.co.uk”.
Meta description is long (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
30 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 30 pages on vapegoo.co.uk and 9 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://vapegoo.co.uk/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebSite.
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://vapegoo.co.uk/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (709 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://vapegoo.co.uk/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://vapegoo.co.uk/pages/international-delivery, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
6 pages without a meta description
https://vapegoo.co.uk/collections/vapegoo-flavours, https://vapegoo.co.uk/collections/nicotine-shots, https://vapegoo.co.uk/collections/new-brands, https://vapegoo.co.uk/collections/darkstar, https://vapegoo.co.uk/collections/vapegoo and https://vapegoo.co.uk/policies/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 108 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
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.
About 570 words of copy
The homepage carries about 570 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
2 checks passed
2 calls to action

3 short forms

4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (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.
12 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 vapegoo.co.uk, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
