Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, rechargecdn.com and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 575 KiB and 292 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
142 KiBAbout 142 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
119 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (119 KiB).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 87 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
78 KiB4 images could be 78 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Mobile performance score: 100
100/100Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 520 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 6.9 s
6.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
5 checks passed
Speed Index: 2.8 s
2.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sYour largest element renders in 1.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “EXPRESSIVE OPUS”.
Total Blocking Time: 19 ms
19 msScripts block the page for only 19 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
hero_d42e4b18-619c-4a88-8be6-36b1bdf5ee0f_750x.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).
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 171 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 171 requests on a phone: scripts 648 KiB (64), other files 640 KiB (74) and images 144 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
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.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 11 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 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “Xtant Wines”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to xtantwines.com, not xtantwine.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://xtantwines.com)”.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
20 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 20 pages on xtantwine.com and 3 external pages.
3 checks passed
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found

AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (376 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://xtantwine.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://xtantwine.com/policies/privacy-policy and https://xtantwine.com/policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
