Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.7 s
A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 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 (dotdigital-pages.com, YouTube and Bigcommerce and others), adding 3.4 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 962 KiB19 images could be 962 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 919 KiBAbout 919 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
YouTube adds 585 ms
585 msYouTube costs a phone 585 ms of main-thread work and 1,006 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.
dotdigital-pages.com adds 590 ms
590 msdotdigital-pages.com costs a phone 590 ms of main-thread work and 257 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
450 ms · 164 KiBAbout 164 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 395 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (395 KiB).
Bigcommerce adds 297 ms
297 msBigcommerce costs a phone 297 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 245 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
61 KiB61 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 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.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 18.6 s
18.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.4 s
10.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s
5.9 sYour largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Spooktacular Fireworks Sale - Free fireworks with every pur…”.
Total Blocking Time: 625 ms
625 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 625 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
18 images without width and height
18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.104
0.104The layout shifts by 0.104 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.5 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.

Tap response (INP) got 12% faster for real visitors
-12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 137 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 137 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (82), images 1.3 MB (21) and fonts 368 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Wholesale_Case_Pricing_Banner.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).
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (383 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
43 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example spirit-of-76-500-gram-cakes-blog-6-.png at 1,440 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 43 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (116 KiB) 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.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 130.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 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: 50 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Spirit of '76 Fireworks Retail Stores”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (303 characters)
Your meta description is 303 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://76fireworkstore.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
135 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 135 pages on 76fireworkstore.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 50 characters
Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Spirit of '76 Fireworks Store - Columbia, Missouri”.
Canonical URL set

robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (751 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
14 pages without a meta description
/wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/artillery-shells, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/bottle-rockets, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/missiles, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/multishots-200-grams and /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/multishots-350-grams and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/wholesale-fireworks, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/artillery-shells, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/bottle-rockets, /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/missiles and /wholesale-pricing/aerial-fireworks/multishots-200-grams and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
