Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 348 KiB16 images could be 348 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Twitter, Google CDN and Bootstrap CDN and others), adding 360 KiB and 88 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
99 KiBAbout 99 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 27 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 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.

Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 236 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s
4.8 sYour largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.214
0.214The layout shifts by 0.214 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 4.9 s
4.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
15 images without width and height
15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Speed Index: 2.6 s
2.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.6 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
2 images far larger than shown
64 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 14_800x.jpg at 800 px wide, shown at 170 px. Resized copies would save about 64 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (202 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.50 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 121 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 121 requests on a phone: other files 727 KiB (78), images 593 KiB (20) and scripts 225 KiB (15). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
34 text elements with low contrast
34 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
13 tap targets too small
13 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
41 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: 41 passed and 11 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “vegansentials”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
59 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 59 pages on vegansentials.com and 6 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://vegansentials.com/.
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://vegansentials.com/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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://vegansentials.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (310 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://vegansentials.com/collections/vendors, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
4 pages without a meta description
https://vegansentials.com/collections, https://vegansentials.com/collections/diy-guides, https://vegansentials.com/blogs/blog and https://vegansentials.com/pages/contact have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://vegansentials.com/collections/general/products/vegan-tea-1, whose canonical is https://vegansentials.com/products/vegan-tea-1. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
3 pages with very little text
https://vegansentials.com/collections, https://vegansentials.com/blogs/blog and https://vegansentials.com/pages/before-after have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

2 checks passed
No console errors

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 275 words of copy
The homepage carries about 275 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

Privacy and tracking
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
