Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.3 s · 217 KiBAbout 217 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
3,501 HTML elements
The page has 3,501 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. 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 (Shopify, Hexton and Bugsnag and others), adding 564 KiB and 674 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 54 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (54 KiB).
Shopify adds 650 ms
650 msShopify costs a phone 650 ms of main-thread work and 464 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 29 KiB29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
324 KiB9 images could be 324 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
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

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 239 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 239 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (70), scripts 761 KiB (73) and other files 702 KiB (73). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
english-elm-bernhardt-2.jpg 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).
4 images in older formats
4 images (492 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 (113 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 218.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
18 text elements with low contrast
18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 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 (3 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), 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).

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores 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.

Your <h1> is empty.
494 internal links, 3 external

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 (1,139 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
/pages/designer-pricing-application, /collections/rugs, /collections/living-room-furniture, /collections/sofas-and-sectionals-collection, /collections/accent-seating-collection and /collections/tables-collection and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
14 pages without an H1
/collections/rugs, /collections/living-room-furniture, /collections/sofas-and-sectionals-collection, /collections/accent-seating-collection, /collections/tables-collection and /collections/storage-and-display-collection and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Domain and trust
Domain expires in 48 days
englishelm.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

englishelm.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
englishelm.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.
