Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.0 s · 1.4 MB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 302 KiBAbout 302 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 224 KiBAbout 224 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 362 KiB12 images could be 362 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
400 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Document request latency
86 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (chownowcdn.com and Google Fonts), adding 61 KiB and 11 ms of main-thread time.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 183 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 88 ms
88 msYour server sent the HTML in 88 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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.
Real-user LCP: 4.0 s
4.0 sReal visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.1 s
3.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.7 s
7.7 sYour largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.7 s
7.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 68 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.9 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.03
0.03For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.036
0.036The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.036, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
2 images in older formats
2 images (323 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (46 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 53.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 50 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 50 requests on a phone: images 585 KiB (26), scripts 428 KiB (9) and stylesheets 351 KiB (11). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Links must have discernible text (12 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 1 more 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 structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Home slideshow”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
10 internal links, 67 external
The homepage links to 10 pages on cheeseplus.com and 67 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 34 characters
Your title is a healthy 34 characters: “Cheese Plus | All Things Delicious”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://cheeseplus.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://cheeseplus.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.
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 (353 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
/sandwiches, /catering and /our-products have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages slow to respond
/sandwiches, /catering and /our-products took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
3 internal pages checked
We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 3 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 3 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://cheeseplus.com/.
28 small tap targets
28 of 65 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
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 (“Mixed content”).
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
5 insecure resources on an https page
5 resources load over plain http on your https page (for example http://cheeseplus.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/home-widget-cotm.jpg); browsers block or warn about them.
http:// does not redirect
http://cheeseplus.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (cheeseplus.com).
Valid certificate (41 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for cheeseplus.com and is valid for another 41 days.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 26 links work
All 26 links checked from your homepage (6 internal, 20 external) answered without errors; 7 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
cheeseplus.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
cheeseplus.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 22 years old
22 yearscheeseplus.com was registered in Mar 2004 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2028
cheeseplus.com is registered until Mar 2028.
Content and conversion
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 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 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 289 words of copy
The homepage carries about 289 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Shop Now” and “sign up”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.
Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
cheeseplus.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
Email authentication score: 45/100
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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com +a:ehub43.webhostinghub.com +a:smtp.servconfig.com +a +mx ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
