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
Improve image delivery
2.0 s · 825 KiB4 images could be 825 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 48). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Optanon and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
652 KiBAbout 652 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google CDN adds 460 ms
460 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 460 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 341 ms
341 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 341 ms of main-thread work and 365 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
300 ms · 76 KiBAbout 76 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 232 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (232 KiB).
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 186 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Tap response (INP) got 23% slower for real visitors
+23%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Speed Index: 5.6 s
5.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 459 ms
459 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 459 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.11
0.11The layout shifts by 0.11 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 122 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 122 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (44), images 1.3 MB (21) and other files 411 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (23 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 131.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 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: 41 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (168 characters)
Your meta description is 168 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.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 39 pages on vetsource.com and 9 external pages.

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.
