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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 324 KiBAbout 324 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 261 KiB3 images could be 261 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.9 MB and 696 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 285 ms
285 msShopify costs a phone 285 ms of main-thread work and 1,021 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 304 ms
304 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 304 ms of main-thread work and 372 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 283 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
35 KiBAbout 35 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
33 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 344 requests

No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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.
3 tap targets too small

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

2 checks passed

SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “WOW! | Collagen Protein & Core Electrolytes for Everyday Body Support”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“WOW!” and “Strength from within”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (266 characters)
Your meta description is 266 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
38 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 38 pages on wowhydrate.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://drink-wow.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.
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://drink-wow.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.
No llms.txt
There is no /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 (402 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/pages/our-science has 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 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Content and conversion
