Site Health

Score: 68 / 100

Based on 8 categories, 0 sections

Room to improve — your 8.1s load time is above Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold.

Good foundation, but a few gaps could be exploited.

Major barriers for users with disabilities — up to 15% of your audience.

Solid SEO basics — a few optimizations could boost rankings.

Solid infrastructure — fast server responses across the board.

Several regulatory requirements are not yet met.

Missing metadata means poor previews on social media and search.

Heavier than average — reducing page weight saves energy and bandwidth.

How is this calculated?

The overall score is a weighted average of individual category scores. Categories with more impact on user experience and security carry more weight.

What fixing these means

Your site has several issues that may be affecting user experience and business outcomes. Your LCP of 8.1s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. Accessibility issues exclude users who rely on assistive technology — an estimated 15% of your potential audience. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.

3 security gaps detected — browsers may warn visitors about your site.

Your LCP is 8.1s — fixing the 1 performance critical could bring it under Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold.

1 accessibility issue excludes users who rely on assistive technology.

Conversion Barriers

3 critical 6 warning

9 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~38%.

Speed (2)

Page takes 8.1s to load

+12% bounce

Users abandon at ~3s — you're 5.6s over the 2.5s threshold

Fix: Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images

Page feels frozen for 3.1s

+5% bounce

Clicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs

Fix: Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration

Trust (2)

No HSTS header

+1% bounce

Returning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request

Fix: Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

No Content-Security-Policy header

+1% bounce

Higher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form

Fix: Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean

Usability (1)

No viewport meta tag

+15% bounce

Mobile browsers render at desktop width and shrink — text unreadable, tap targets miniature

Fix: Add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Content (3)

No Open Graph tags

+2% bounce

Links shared on LinkedIn / Slack / Facebook show bare URLs — referral clicks drop

Fix: Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url to the page head

No structured data

+2% bounce

No rich-result eligibility in Google — lower SERP CTR vs competitors with stars and prices

Fix: Add JSON-LD for your page type (Product, Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, …)

Thin content

+3% bounce

Under 300 words — visitors bounce looking for substance, search engines rank competitors first

Fix: Add a substantive FAQ, product detail, or case-study section

Navigation (1)

No skip-to-content link

+1% bounce

Keyboard and screen-reader users must tab through the entire header on every page

Fix: Add a visible-on-focus <a href="#main">Skip to content</a> as the first focusable element

Preliminary CRO audit — each barrier links to the tab with detailed analysis.

Performance

Insights

Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Polyfills and transforms enable older browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. Consider modifying your JavaScript build process to not transpile Baseline features, unless you know you must support older browsers. Learn why most sites can deploy ES6+ code without transpiling

Why this matters

Shipping ES5 transpiled code to modern browsers wastes bytes — every user with an evergreen browser pays for compatibility you don't need.

Learn more ▾

Most users today run browsers that natively support ES6+, async/await, optional chaining, and the rest of modern JavaScript. Transpiling to ES5 'just in case' adds 20-40% to your bundle for no benefit. Configure your build to target a modern browserslist, or ship a differential bundle pair (modern + legacy) with the module/nomodule pattern.

This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.
