Speed

15 to fix37
  • Main-thread work: 15.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 15.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. 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 (ContentSquare, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and others), adding 1.5 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.

  • ContentSquare adds 865 ms

    865 ms

    ContentSquare costs a phone 865 ms of main-thread work and 214 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 JavaScript

    760 KiB

    About 760 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 539 KiB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (539 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 118 KiB

    About 118 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 513 ms

    513 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 513 ms of main-thread work and 319 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.

  • Hotjar adds 496 ms

    496 ms

    Hotjar costs a phone 496 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.

  • Yotpo adds 438 ms

    438 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 438 ms of main-thread work and 469 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

    444 KiB

    27 images could be 444 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 333 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Clarity adds 251 ms

    251 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 30 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.

  • 2,141 HTML elements

    The page has 2,141 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

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

    -38%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 317 ms to 196 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    -41%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 7.1 MB in 373 requests

    7.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 373 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (72), scripts 2.0 MB (144) and other files 851 KiB (127). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 1.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (1.2 MB) 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 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.00 g of CO₂e: 240.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 8788
  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 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.

  • 25 images without alt text

    25 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo 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.

  • 11 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 9 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • Meta description is long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 9 links crawlers can't follow

    9 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 122 internal links, 26 external

    The homepage links to 122 pages on wildearth.com and 26 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Born Wild, Backed by Science”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Wild Earth Pet Food: Vegan Nutrition for Healthy Dogs & Cats”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://wildearth.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://wildearth.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,552 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://wildearth.com/pages/find-your-meal-plan has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://wildearth.com/collections/dog-food, https://wildearth.com/products/performance-formula-dog-food, https://wildearth.com/products/maintenance-formula-dog-food, https://wildearth.com/products/cat-food-unicorn-pate, https://wildearth.com/products/superfood-dog-treats-with-koji-single and https://wildearth.com/products/superfood-dog-treats-with-koji and 9 others 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 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • 43 cookies set on arrival

    43

    Opening the homepage sets 43 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
