Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 343 KiBAbout 343 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. 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 (TikTok, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 963 KiB and 578 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 109 KiB3 images could be 109 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Klaviyo adds 134 ms
134 msKlaviyo costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 19 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 112 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 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.

Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 874 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.5 s
11.5 sYour largest element takes 11.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 11.5 s
11.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 173 ms
173 msScripts block the page for only 173 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 225 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 225 requests on a phone: scripts 921 KiB (77), other files 740 KiB (94) and images 484 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
DARKEST-DAY.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).
1 image far larger than shown
62 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 9454a432-d843-4cd7-83ef-d14792da358d.jpeg at 750 px wide, shown at 124 px. Resized copies would save about 62 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (82 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don'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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 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: 52 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found

AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (350 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://follycoffee.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://follycoffee.com/collections/merch, https://follycoffee.com/blogs/news and https://follycoffee.com/pages/subscriptions have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://follycoffee.com/collections/coffee and https://follycoffee.com/collections/all-products use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 pages without an H1
https://follycoffee.com/pages/why-folly, https://follycoffee.com/pages/subscriptions and https://follycoffee.com/pages/wholesale-cold-brew-minneapolis have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
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 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 236 words
The homepage has only about 236 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and TikTok 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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
