Speed

11 to fix49
  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 s · 1.8 MB

    16 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 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your 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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Shopify 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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    124 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (124 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.9 s

    19.9 s

    Your largest element takes 19.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 25.7 s

    25.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 475 ms

    475 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 475 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.132

    0.132

    The 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 s

    The 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.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 111 ms to 119 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 6.5 MB in 302 requests

    6.5 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    8 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 g

    By 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

6 to fixGoogle 8191
  • 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).

1 checks passed
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 8586
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “Over 6,000 bulk ingredients, baking tools, & packaging from your trusted supplier, Baker's Authority. Shop wholesale wi…”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Wholesale Bakery Ingredients Supplier – Bakers Authority”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.bakersauthority.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

100
  • 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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,353 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix75
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /collections/danish-pastries, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 198 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    Social proof on the homepage: 11 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

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 Clarity (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 bakersauthority.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
