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
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.2 s
A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, TikTok and Attentive and others), adding 3.9 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 1.4 MB18 images could be 1.4 MB 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 688 KiBAbout 688 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
874 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (874 KiB).
Shopify adds 343 ms
343 msShopify costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 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.
Attentive adds 256 ms
256 msAttentive costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 938 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.
TikTok adds 282 ms
282 msTikTok costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 167 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.
1,960 HTML elements
The page has 1,960 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 228 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 71 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 71 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 24 KiBAbout 24 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.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify JavaScript
36 KiB36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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
Largest Contentful Paint: 38.8 s
38.8 sYour largest element takes 38.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “flock_homepage_mobile_2024.jpg__PID:88d8fdfe-025c-49c7-a3b2…”.
Time to Interactive: 53.2 s

Speed Index: 11.9 s
11.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 778 ms
778 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 778 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.0 MB in 542 requests
15.0 MBYour homepage downloads 15.0 MB in 542 requests on a phone: images 11.2 MB (120), scripts 1.9 MB (130) and other files 1.2 MB (252). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
17 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB17 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 10ct-nutrx.png at 2,185 px wide, shown at 318 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
18 images below the first screen load straight away
18 images further down the page (2.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (102 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.
About 4.2 g of CO₂ per visit
4.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.25 g of CO₂e: 509.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
14 text elements with low contrast
14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 188 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 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 short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “Flock Chicken Chips”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (168 characters)
Your meta description is 168 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
84 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 84 pages on flockfoods.com and 13 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://flockfoods.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://flockfoods.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.
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 (888 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://flockfoods.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
16 pages share a title
/, https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-skin-crisps, https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-sticks, https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-breast-sticks, https://flockfoods.com/collections/turkey-bacon-jerky and https://flockfoods.com/pages/subscribe-to-flock and 10 others all use the title “Flock Chicken Chips”. 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://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-sticks, https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-breast-sticks, https://flockfoods.com/collections/turkey-bacon-jerky, https://flockfoods.com/pages/subscribe-to-flock, https://flockfoods.com/pages/store-locator and https://flockfoods.com/blogs/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-skin-crisps, https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-sticks, https://flockfoods.com/collections/chicken-breast-sticks, https://flockfoods.com/collections/turkey-bacon-jerky, https://flockfoods.com/pages/subscribe-to-flock and https://flockfoods.com/pages/store-locator have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

4 small tap targets
4 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

4 checks passed

10Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (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.
54 cookies set on arrival
54Opening the homepage sets 54 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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 flockfoods.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
