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
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 1.9 MB54 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 737 KiBAbout 737 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 1.6 s
1.6 sShopify costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 10.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and loox.io and others), adding 11.4 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
2,558 HTML elements
The page has 2,558 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google Tag Manager adds 213 ms
213 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 360 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.
loox.io adds 89 ms
89 msloox.io costs a phone 89 ms of main-thread work and 519 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
150 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
87 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (87 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.5 s
13.5 sYour largest element takes 13.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 23.3 s
23.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s
3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.309
0.309The layout shifts by 0.309 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Real-user CLS: 0.25
0.25For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.25 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 301 ms
301 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 301 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.0 MB in 265 requests
14.0 MBYour homepage downloads 14.0 MB in 265 requests on a phone: media 7.3 MB (4), images 4.1 MB (119) and scripts 1.9 MB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
34 images in older formats
34 images (4.3 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.
13 images below the first screen load straight away
13 images further down the page (553 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
47 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example assets/715b73406f0e49fc93143573fb9fb883/f1e58cd0f9fa4ab7b555 at 844 px wide, shown at 190 px. Resized copies would save about 47 KiB.
About 4.0 g of CO₂ per visit
3.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.96 g of CO₂e: 474.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “ZOX - Elastic Bracelets and Watchbands With Hidden Affirmations | ZOX”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
168 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 168 pages on zox.la and 13 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “ZOX crafts stretchy elastic bracelets and watchbands from recycled water bottles. With hidden uplifting reminders and b…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://zox.co/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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://zox.co/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://zox.co/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.
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.
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 (700 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages share a meta description
https://zox.co/collections/pearls, https://zox.co/pages/keychains, https://zox.co/pages/mystery-packs, https://zox.co/pages/zoxpass and https://zox.co/collections/watches use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://zox.co/pages/weekly-release, whose canonical is https://zox.co/collections/limited-edition-bracelets. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
7 pages without an H1
https://zox.co/pages/weekly-release, https://zox.co/collections/bible-verse-bracelets, https://zox.co/collections/bracelets, https://zox.co/pages/keychains, https://zox.co/collections/mystery-club and https://zox.co/collections/bible-club and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
88 of 97 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
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.
About 581 words of copy
The homepage carries about 581 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
16 cookies set on arrival
16Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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 zox.la, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
