One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
950 ms · 286 KiB5 images could be 286 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Bold Commerce and Privy and others), adding 2.8 MB and 918 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 982 KiBAbout 982 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Google CDN adds 428 ms
428 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 428 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
481 KiB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (481 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Bold Commerce adds 197 ms
197 msBold Commerce costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 485 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.
Shopify adds 75 ms
75 msShopify costs a phone 75 ms of main-thread work and 637 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 · 87 KiBAbout 87 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 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).
Legacy JavaScript
43 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 43 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.

Server response: 15 ms

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 23.7 s
23.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.1 s
6.1 sYour largest element takes 6.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Product image”.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 315 ms
315 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 315 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.
2 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 204 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 204 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (80), other files 1.0 MB (83) and images 708 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 154.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail 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.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
13 form fields without a label
13 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 8 failed. 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.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
23 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 23 pages on zym.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 65 characters
Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “ZYM SMART HYDRATION: Best-Tasting Electrolyte Drink on the Market”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.zym.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://www.zym.com/sitemap.xml.
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 (642 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.zym.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.zym.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.zym.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.zym.com/collections/sport, https://www.zym.com/collections/accessories, https://www.zym.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://www.zym.com/pages/contact-us have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://www.zym.com/collections/sport, https://www.zym.com/collections/accessories, https://www.zym.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://www.zym.com/pages/contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
6 of 6 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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
A 10-field form
Your longest form asks for 10 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
Only about 151 words
The homepage has only about 151 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP SPORT +”.
4 calls to action

Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
31 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 31 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 zym.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 11 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
