Render-blocking requests
1.6 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.3 s
A phone's processor spends 7.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 4.5 MB205 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.5 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.5 MB42 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Rubicon Project, admetricspro.com and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Rubicon Project adds 413 ms
413 msRubicon Project costs a phone 413 ms of main-thread work and 113 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.
admetricspro.com adds 269 ms
269 msadmetricspro.com costs a phone 269 ms of main-thread work and 294 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.
Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 255 ms
255 msGoogle/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 388 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 228 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
80 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 80 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 3 ms

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.
Speed Index: 20.8 s
20.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 20.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 41.1 s

Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s
5.0 sYour largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Ethan Baby Blanket”.
Real-user CLS: 0.14
0.14For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.14 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.1 MB in 1,222 requests
7.1 MBYour homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 1,222 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (462), scripts 2.7 MB (108) and other files 401 KiB (502). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Frog-Pond-Baby-Blanket_Large400_ID-1729099.png weighs 524 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
36 images in older formats
36 images (3.1 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.
37 images below the first screen load straight away
37 images further down the page (2.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
79 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Prince-Protea-Crochet-Granny-Square_Large600_ID-810189.jpg at 600 px wide, shown at 168 px. Resized copies would save about 79 KiB.
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.02 g of CO₂e: 242.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
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.
10 form fields without a label
10 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 3 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 (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns - 100s of Free Crochet Afghan Patterns”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (232 characters)
Your meta description is 232 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com/www.allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
206 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 206 pages on allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com and 15 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com/.
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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (679 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 108 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.google.com/ads/measurement/l?ebcid=efmk.
30 third-party cookies
30 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
11 small tap targets
11 of 39 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“The Topics API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.”).
5 JavaScript errors while loading
5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “dhtml_v2 is not defined”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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.
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 334 words of copy
The homepage carries about 334 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
13 calls to action
The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Crochet Book Publishers” and “Join As You Go”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager and 2 mores (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.
25 cookies set on arrival
25Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
85 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 85 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 allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
