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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 491 KiB35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (491 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.5 s
A phone's processor spends 8.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,132 HTML elements
The page has 4,132 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and truevaultcdn.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 678 KiBAbout 678 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 761 ms
761 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 761 ms of main-thread work and 361 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.
Improve image delivery
576 KiB19 images could be 576 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 227 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 26 ms
26 msYour server sent the HTML in 26 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.9 s
9.9 sYour largest element takes 9.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “a group of shoes on a yellow and black background”.
Time to Interactive: 23.3 s
23.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s
3.4 sThe first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 744 ms
744 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 744 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 816 ms
816 msReal visitors wait 816 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
51 images without width and height
51 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors
-11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 171 ms to 152 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 274 requests
4.6 MBYour homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 274 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (112), images 1.8 MB (61) and other files 615 KiB (79). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
5d1d51efbf14402995391f19fcc47d80.thumbnail.0000000000_1200x. weighs 522 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
November_Sale_1_Mb_-_2026.jpg 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).
17 images below the first screen load straight away
17 images further down the page (880 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
6 images far larger than shown
193 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example usabs_r_1_58c0a358-1548-4017-84db-9692599f6e64.webp at 800 px wide, shown at 90 px. Resized copies would save about 193 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (194 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.31 g of CO₂e: 157.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
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.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

3 checks passed
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,417 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://vktry.com/products/vktry-insoles-gold and https://vktry.com/products/gift-bundle-v2 all use the title “VKTRY Gold VK Shock-Absorbing Performance Orthotic Insoles”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages without a meta description
https://vktry.com/collections/recovery-footwear and https://vktry.com/collections/bundle-save have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://vktry.com/products/vktry-insoles-gold and https://vktry.com/products/gift-bundle-v2 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
A 8-field form

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,551 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,551 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
5 checks passed

48 cookies set on arrival
48Opening the homepage sets 48 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
