xlear.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 808 KiBAbout 808 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 353 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (353 KiB).
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 384 ms
384 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 384 ms of main-thread work and 336 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 · 65 KiBAbout 65 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 249 ms
249 msShopify costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 700 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 304 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,827 HTML elements
The page has 1,827 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 225 KiB12 images could be 225 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
30 images without width and height
30 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.6 MB in 327 requests
11.6 MBYour homepage downloads 11.6 MB in 327 requests on a phone: media 7.8 MB (2), scripts 1.9 MB (129) and images 892 KiB (45). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (35 KiB) is 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (35 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit
3.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.29 g of CO₂e: 394.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
30 images without alt text
30 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 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 (3 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner 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 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.
Headings should not be empty (3 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
56 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 56 pages on xlear.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 129 characters
Your meta description is 129 characters: “Xlear offers Xylitol-based natural wellness products like Xlear Sinus Care, Spry Dental Defense, and XyloSweet Natural …”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://xlear.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.
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 (619 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
6 pages without a meta description
/collections/shop, /collections/nasal-hygiene, /collections/oral-hygiene, /blogs/scientific-studies, /blogs/news and /customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
/collections/shop, /blogs/scientific-studies, /blogs/news and /customer_authentication/redirect 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 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime

2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://xlear.com/account.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

Valid certificate (69 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for xlear.com and is valid for another 69 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

http:// redirects to https
http://xlear.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 29 links work
All 29 links checked from your homepage (22 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 86 days
xlear.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
xlear.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
xlear.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
1 checks passed
