Speed

13 to fix50
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.1 s · 970 KiB

    About 970 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.3 s · 644 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (644 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 538 KiB

    17 images could be 538 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (shulex-voc.com, Klaviyo and Heroku and others), adding 2.0 MB and 900 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 50

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    710 ms · 148 KiB

    148 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • shulex-voc.com adds 240 ms

    240 ms

    shulex-voc.com costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 442 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.

  • 2,418 HTML elements

    The page has 2,418 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Heroku adds 144 ms

    144 ms

    Heroku costs a phone 144 ms of main-thread work and 524 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 163 ms

    163 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.

  • Shopify adds 115 ms

    115 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 115 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 145 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 ms · 51 KiB

    About 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix67

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 133 ms to 151 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix0
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 265 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 265 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (97), images 992 KiB (43) and other files 713 KiB (95). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fix83
  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 9 tap targets too small

    9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 7 links without text

    7 links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 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.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 100 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8578
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “VAVA Official Website | Baby Monitors, Baby Thermometer, Night Lights”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“VAVA” and “VAVA Smart Baby Thermometer”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (163 characters)

    Your meta description is 163 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.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 82 internal links, 21 external

    The homepage links to 82 pages on vava.com and 21 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.vava.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ProductGroup.

  • 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.vava.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.vava.com/collections/bundle-sale, https://www.vava.com/collections/all and https://www.vava.com/policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://www.vava.com/pages/wearable-baby-thermometer, https://www.vava.com/blogs/baby-care, https://www.vava.com/pages/press, https://www.vava.com/pages/affiliates and https://www.vava.com/pages/vava-outlet-picks have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7788
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 6 console errors

    6 errors were logged to the browser console during Google's test (“Failed to find a valid digest in the 'integrity' attribute for resource 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/n…”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 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 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 836 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 836 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Order note” and “Apply”.

  • 7 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.
