Speed

1 to fix100
  • 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.

  • 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 KiB

    About 142 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    119 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    4 images could be 78 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 100

    100/100

    Your 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    The 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Your 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 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 19 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • 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 g

    By 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 MB

    Your 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

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8569
  • 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

    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://xtantwine.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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

1 to fix95
  • 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.

  • 3 internal pages checked

    We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 3 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

1 to fix83

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at xtantwine.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
