Speed
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 1.5 MB22 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Shopify and others), adding 1,004 KiB and 725 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
279 KiBAbout 279 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 215 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
208 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (208 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 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
40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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.

Total Blocking Time: 268 ms
268 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 268 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images 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.

About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
31 text elements with low contrast
31 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
10 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

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.
3 form fields without a label
3 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 and 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. (25 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 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 long (70 characters)

Meta description is long (247 characters)
Your meta description is 247 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (Organization) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.flowersmadeeasy.ie/cdn/shop/files/Flowersmadeeasy…”.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Open Graph partly set
