Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.6 s · 411 KiBAbout 411 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 1.2 MB20 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Klaviyo and LoyaltyLion and others), adding 1.4 MB and 511 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 73 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 73 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
rebuyengine.com adds 240 ms
240 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 652 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.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,970 HTML elements
The page has 1,970 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
LoyaltyLion adds 85 ms
85 msLoyaltyLion costs a phone 85 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 28 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28 KiB).
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 18.6 s

Speed Index: 7.6 s
7.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
34 images without width and height
34 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 231 ms

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 303 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 303 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (24), scripts 1.3 MB (118) and other files 830 KiB (122). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Cellar_Primary_Logo_White_RGB_fcfdca6c-b382-4955-8314-25a49b 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).
2 images far larger than shown
472 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 9BBD6D3E-9732-44D2-9974-2BCC68C7BB30.jpg at 3,024 px wide, shown at 113 px. Resized copies would save about 472 KiB.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
14 text elements with low contrast
14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), 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).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (10 characters)
Your title is only 10 characters: “Cellar.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
17 links with vague text
17 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.
237 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 237 pages on cellar.com and 6 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://cellar.com/.
Open Graph tags complete

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://cellar.com/sitemap.xml.
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,344 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
/pages/sell-your-wine-and-spirits, /pages/rewards, /pages/contact-us, /collections/wines-rose and /collections/wines-sake have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
11 pages without an H1
/pages/sell-your-wine-and-spirits, /pages/rewards, /pages/contact-us, /collections/wines-fortified-and-dessert, /collections/wines-red and /collections/wines-sake and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

1 checks passed

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://mobile.twitter.com/schneiders1949.
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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (cellar.com).
Valid certificate (63 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for cellar.com and is valid for another 63 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://cellar.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
cellar.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
cellar.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

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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
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.

The homepage carries about 535 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cellar.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com ip4:173.213.232.68 -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
