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
1.2 s · 162 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (162 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
950 ms · 157 KiBAbout 157 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
486 KiB19 images could be 486 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Attentive and Adobe TypeKit), adding 225 KiB and 93 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 194 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s
5.9 sYour largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Tap response (INP) got 322% slower for real visitors
+322%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 23 ms to 97 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 115% slower for real visitors
+115%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.7 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.0 s
6.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Total Blocking Time: 46 ms
46 msScripts block the page for only 46 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (161 KiB) is 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (75 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. 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: 53.4 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 54 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 54 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (34), scripts 284 KiB (8) and fonts 96 KiB (4). 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
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.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (“The Crowning Touch for Your Autumn Garden” and “Your Delivery Driver Will Do a Double-Take”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (222 characters)
Your meta description is 222 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
284 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 284 pages on designtoscano.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 64 characters
Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Shop Statues - Sculptures - Garden & Home Decor - Design Toscano”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.designtoscano.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.designtoscano.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 (1,411 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/shopping-cart is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages without a meta description
/shopping-cart, /garden-and-outdoor/fountains/quenching-a-big-thirst-sculptural-dog-fountain-ky27148, /statues-and-sculptures/tabletop-statues/fairy-of-hopes-and-dreams-garden-statue-cl6860, /furniture/chairs-and-seating and /furniture/desks have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Security and trust
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.

Domain and trust
No CAA record
designtoscano.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
