Speed

14 to fix37
  • Improve image delivery

    46.0 s · 9.2 MB

    2 images could be 9.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 46.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    6.5 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.7 s · 818 KiB

    About 818 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 198 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (198 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 11.4 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Squarespace adds 905 ms

    905 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 905 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 9.2 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    610 ms · 141 KiB

    About 141 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 56 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 326 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 232 ms

    232 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 232 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.

  • Adobe TypeKit adds 9 ms

    9 ms

    Adobe TypeKit costs a phone 9 ms of main-thread work and 386 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.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 26 ms

    26 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 26 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix44
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 62.9 s

    62.9 s

    Your largest element takes 62.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Sign up to be the first to know about all things FGC includ…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 62.9 s

    62.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 62.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 860 ms

    860 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 860 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.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix36
  • Page weight: 11.5 MB in 74 requests

    11.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.5 MB in 74 requests on a phone: images 9.2 MB (7), scripts 1.7 MB (32) and fonts 434 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    FGC2025_Family-Meal_Banner_2500x1500_2020-04-20.gif weighs 3.0 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (3.0 MB) 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Rad+Healthy+Chicken+Dinners.png 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).

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.25 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.25 g of CO₂e: 390.4 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

4 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 16 tap targets too small

    16 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10081
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Meta description is long (279 characters)

    Your meta description is 279 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 3 problems

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d2dd4467115720001f…”.

  • 22 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 22 pages on fieldsgoodchicken.com and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Fields Good Chicken | New York City”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.fieldsgoodchicken.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.fieldsgoodchicken.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (1 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) 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.

1 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.

Other pages

4 to fix73
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /home all use the title “Fields Good Chicken | New York City”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /faq, /contact and /press have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 5 pages with very little text

    /locations, /chicken, /careers, /contact and /home 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.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 18 small tap targets

    18 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “The elements you're trying to select don't exist.”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix85
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 68 words

    The homepage has only about 68 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “ORDER NOW” and “SIGN UP”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Order Now”, “Order Now →” and “Join our email list”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

  • 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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at fieldsgoodchicken.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
