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
4.5 s · 634 KiBAbout 634 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 3.6 MB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.6 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 81). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 2.9 MB13 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, cookiepro.com and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
640 ms · 105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 640 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 555 ms
555 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 555 ms of main-thread work and 741 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.
Minify CSS
450 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 249 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Document request latency
30 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 81 but mobile only 47. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 8.5 s
8.5 sThe first text or image appears after 8.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.4 s
12.4 sYour largest element takes 12.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By clicking “Accept All Cookies”, you agree to the storing …”.
Time to Interactive: 14.5 s
14.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.5 s
8.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 399 ms
399 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 399 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Tap response (INP) got 26% faster for real visitors
-26%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 82 ms to 62 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors
-21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.052
0.052The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.052, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.4 MB in 70 requests
5.4 MBYour homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 70 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (26), scripts 1.2 MB (16) and other files 409 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 2.0 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
12 images in older formats
12 images (3.2 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.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (2.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.54 g of CO₂e: 184.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “XpresSpa | Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://xpresspa.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at xpresspa.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
38 internal links, 33 external
The homepage links to 38 pages on xpresspa.com and 33 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “XpresSpa.com - Airport Spa Treatments, Relaxing Massagers, Soothing Soaps, Comfortable Neck Pillows, Travel Accessories…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “This is your time.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.xpresspa.com/.
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://xpresspa.com/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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (348 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://xpresspa.com/book-an-appointment, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
6 pages point its canonical at the homepage
https://xpresspa.com/locations, https://xpresspa.com/services, https://xpresspa.com/xwell-rewards, https://xpresspa.com/gift-cards, https://xpresspa.com/terms-and-conditions and https://xpresspa.com/privacy-policy declare the homepage as their canonical URL, which tells Google they are copies of the homepage and keeps them out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
6 pages share a meta description
https://xpresspa.com/locations, https://xpresspa.com/services, https://xpresspa.com/xwell-rewards, https://xpresspa.com/gift-cards, https://xpresspa.com/terms-and-conditions and https://xpresspa.com/privacy-policy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text
https://xpresspa.com/locations and https://xpresspa.com/services have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
7 internal pages checked
We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Every page has a meta description
All 6 pages that loaded have a meta description.

Every page has a title
All 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices

1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 297 words of copy
The homepage carries about 297 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
