Speed
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 305 KiB5 images could be 305 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.7 s
A phone's processor spends 8.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,275 HTML elements
The page has 3,275 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (accessibilityassistant.com, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 593 KiBAbout 593 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
600 ms · 710 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (710 KiB).
accessibilityassistant.com adds 573 ms
573 msaccessibilityassistant.com costs a phone 573 ms of main-thread work and 288 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.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 209 ms
209 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.
Klaviyo adds 197 ms
197 msKlaviyo costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
Shopify adds 144 ms
144 msShopify costs a phone 144 ms of main-thread work and 629 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.
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
30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 253 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 253 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (94), other files 916 KiB (128) and images 398 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
180 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example CVO_Road_Glide_FFG_-_Vehicle_Image.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 352 px. Resized copies would save about 180 KiB.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 115.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (7 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (5 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “FreedomForgeGarage”. 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.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Win thisCVO Road Glide+ $50K cash”, “WAIT! Before You Checkout...” and “GET 50% OFF NOW!”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
108 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 108 pages on freedomforgegarage.com and 18 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://freedomforgegarage.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://freedomforgegarage.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 (3,263 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://freedomforgegarage.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages share 2 titles
https://freedomforgegarage.com/enter-giveaway and https://freedomforgegarage.com/pages/enter-giveaway all use the title “FreedomForgeGarage | Take Home Your Dream Vehicle Today! | Enter Now”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
12 pages without a meta description
https://freedomforgegarage.com/collections/shop-all, https://freedomforgegarage.com/pages/membership-subscription, https://freedomforgegarage.com/collections/shop-digital-products, https://freedomforgegarage.com/collections/shop-tees, https://freedomforgegarage.com/collections/shop-hoodies and https://freedomforgegarage.com/enter-giveaway and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://freedomforgegarage.com/pages/official-rules and https://freedomforgegarage.com/rules use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://freedomforgegarage.com/enter-giveaway, whose canonical is https://freedomforgegarage.com/pages/enter-giveaway. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link

28 cookies set on arrival
28Opening the homepage sets 28 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
