Speed

12 to fix48
  • Improve image delivery

    11.3 s · 2.5 MB

    6 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 11.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.8 s · 998 KiB

    About 998 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 48

    48/100

    Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 58). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google CDN and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 5.1 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 160 KiB

    About 160 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Squarespace adds 632 ms

    632 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 632 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    450 ms · 116 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 116 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    450 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).

  • Google CDN adds 344 ms

    344 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 344 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.7 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 150 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 79 ms

    79 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 79 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.2 s

    26.2 s

    Your largest element takes 26.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

  • Speed Index: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 338 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 338 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 72 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.044

    0.044

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.044, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix55
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 88 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 88 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (8), scripts 2.0 MB (55) and other files 465 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Screenshot+2024-05-30+at+5.59.47 PM.png weighs 1.0 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 191.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9195
  • Hidden but focusable

    6 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 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.

  • 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 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66560ce08a10a57d783…”.

  • 21 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 21 pages on casagarcias.com and 12 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 148 characters

    Your meta description is 148 characters: “Casa Garcia's has served authentic Tex-Mex since 1999, now with seven locations across Central Texas. Dine in with the …”.

  • One H1 headline

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Casa Garcia's | Tex-Mex Restaurant in Austin, TX”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.casagarcias.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.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. 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 /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 (462 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /menus has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /menus and /gift-cards have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 4 internal pages checked

    We fetched 4 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 4 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 4 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/66560ce08a10a57d783baf91/30/5c5a…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/thecasagarcias.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (casagarcias.com).

  • Valid certificate (82 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for casagarcias.com and is valid for another 82 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://casagarcias.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 16 links work

    All 16 links checked from your homepage (6 internal, 10 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    casagarcias.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    casagarcias.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 23 years old

    23 years

    casagarcias.com was registered in Aug 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    casagarcias.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 423 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 423 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: “ORDER NOW”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “ORDER NOW”, “Order online” and “ORDER ONLINE”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are 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.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
