Speed

9 to fix56
  • 3,777 HTML elements

    The page has 3,777 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 (Google Tag Manager, ZenDesk and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    933 KiB

    About 933 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 426 ms

    426 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 426 ms of main-thread work and 527 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.

  • ZenDesk adds 389 ms

    389 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 389 ms of main-thread work and 862 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 133 ms

    133 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 333 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

    243 KiB

    33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (243 KiB).

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    About 21 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    166 KiB

    7 images could be 166 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    49 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Server response: 39 ms

    39 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 39 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 373 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 373 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (141), images 1.2 MB (34) and other files 913 KiB (151). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.41 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.41 g of CO₂e: 169.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8587
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 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.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 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.

  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 45 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: 45 passed and 7 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8594
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.hardmandesigns.com)”.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

    4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 219 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 219 pages on hardmandesign.fr and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Solid Wood Furniture, Made to Order | Hardman Design”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.hardmandesign.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://www.hardmandesign.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix70
  • Parts of the site are closed to 1 AI crawler

    Your robots.txt lets Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

2 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,048 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.hardmandesign.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.hardmandesign.com/pages/sustainability has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.hardmandesign.com/products/lela-stool has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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.

  • About 687 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 687 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Shop By Collection”, “Shop By Category” and “Contact”.

  • 15 short forms

    15 short forms (0 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks, 4 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 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.

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

    Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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