Speed
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 772 KiB20 images could be 772 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 89
89/100Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
2,059 HTML elements
The page has 2,059 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 54 ms
54 msShopify costs a phone 54 ms of main-thread work and 442 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 450 KiB and 54 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 71 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
67 KiB67 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
11 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 442 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sYour largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 5.7 s
5.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
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.
4 checks passed
Speed Index: 2.7 s
2.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.024
0.024The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 27 ms
27 msScripts block the page for only 27 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 184 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 184 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (24), other files 793 KiB (77) and fonts 307 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
2 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example orbot-squared-side-cleaning.png at 875 px wide, shown at 288 px. Resized copies would save about 2 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (76 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

14 links without text

Every image has alt text
All 57 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “TMF Finish Em Coatings | Cleaning Supplies Hardwood Floors & Surfaces”.
Meta description is long (312 characters)

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.finishem.com/products/finish-em-black-gold-waterbased-coatings-for-wood and https://www.finishem.com/collections/coatings/products/finish-em-black-gold-waterbased-coatings-for-wood all use the title “FINISH EM BLACK GOLD WATERBASED COATINGS FOR WOOD – TMF Finish Em Coa…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
https://www.finishem.com/collections/lvp-lvt-epoxy-vct-coatings, https://www.finishem.com/collections/cleaners, https://www.finishem.com/collections/equipment, https://www.finishem.com/collections/orbot, https://www.finishem.com/collections/machines and https://www.finishem.com/collections/coatings have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.finishem.com/products/finish-em-black-gold-waterbased-coatings-for-wood and https://www.finishem.com/collections/coatings/products/finish-em-black-gold-waterbased-coatings-for-wood use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.finishem.com/collections/coatings/products/finish-em-black-gold-waterbased-coatings-for-wood, whose canonical is https://www.finishem.com/products/finish-em-black-gold-waterbased-coatings-for-wood. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
7 pages without an H1
https://www.finishem.com/collections/lvp-lvt-epoxy-vct-coatings, https://www.finishem.com/collections/concrete, https://www.finishem.com/collections/cleaners, https://www.finishem.com/collections/equipment, https://www.finishem.com/collections/orbot and https://www.finishem.com/collections/machines and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
