Speed

8 to fix66
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10.8 s · 3.4 MB

    65 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.4 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    5.0 s · 1,009 KiB

    3 images could be 1,009 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.6 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 407 KiB

    About 407 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Bing Ads and others), adding 1.0 MB and 475 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 94 KiB

    About 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 326 ms

    326 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 326 ms of main-thread work and 683 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 613 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 61 ms

    61 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 61 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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: 21.8 s

    21.8 s

    Your largest element takes 21.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SHOP NOW”.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.2 s

    22.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 27% slower for real visitors

    +27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 98 ms to 105 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 105 ms

    105 ms

    Real visitors wait 105 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 198 ms

    198 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 198 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.03

    0.03

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.03, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 96 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 96 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (11), scripts 1.1 MB (44) and fonts 238 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (39 KiB) is 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.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.20 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 144.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 9493
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 6 links without text

    6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings should not be empty (2 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9278
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (27 characters)

    Your title is only 27 characters: “Welcome - 21st Century Bean”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Current Grower Price”, “Quality Bean Products” and “FEATURED PRODUCTS”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 81 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 81 pages on 21stcenturybean.com and 15 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.21stcenturybean.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Store, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.21stcenturybean.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo and sameAs (social profiles). These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.21stcenturybean.com/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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (473 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.21stcenturybean.com/shop, https://www.21stcenturybean.com/producing, https://www.21stcenturybean.com/our-staff, https://www.21stcenturybean.com/certifications, https://www.21stcenturybean.com/meet-our-growers and https://www.21stcenturybean.com/why-choose-21st-century-bean and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.21stcenturybean.com/producing and https://www.21stcenturybean.com/certifications have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=25052058&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=07340cd8-5c83-44ed-b2d9-de9a0c0bee06&bo=1&sid=785831d0dda811f1af99c9f0ceb2c372&vid=785856b0dda811f1b37ecbc7f4330e70&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: accountId must be a positive integer”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix86
  • 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 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.

  • About 324 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 324 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Here”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop Here”, “SHOP NOW” and “LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads (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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 21stcenturybean.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
