Speed
Improve image delivery
3.1 s · 1.8 MB16 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,345 HTML elements
The page has 3,345 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 375 ms
375 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 375 ms of main-thread work and 321 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 JavaScript
130 ms · 276 KiBAbout 276 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 311 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 262 ms
262 msShopify costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 303 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 CDN adds 250 ms
250 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 250 ms of main-thread work and 31 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
290 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
140 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
124 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (124 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 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.

Total Blocking Time: 475 ms
475 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 475 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.132
0.132The layout shifts by 0.132 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.5 MB in 302 requests
6.5 MBYour homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 302 requests on a phone: images 4.1 MB (57), scripts 1.0 MB (84) and other files 984 KiB (111). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 1.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
8 images far larger than shown
1,021 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Thanksgiving-banner-mobile-1.png at 1,340 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 1,021 KiB.
6 images in older formats
6 images (793 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (739 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.83 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.83 g of CO₂e: 219.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
35 buttons without a name
35 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
17 text elements with low contrast
17 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
26 images without alt text
26 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Thanksgiving Ingredients”, “Huge Price Drop” and “Harvest Season Pie Ingredients”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("#")”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
621 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 621 pages on bakersauthority.com and 0 external pages.
