Speed

8 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 231 KiB

    About 231 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 203 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (203 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, secureprivacy.ai and Shopify and others), adding 1.6 MB and 894 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • hcaptcha.com adds 801 ms

    801 ms

    hcaptcha.com costs a phone 801 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    570 ms · 73 KiB

    About 73 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 570 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 259 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    Your largest element takes 13.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.0 s

    16.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 25 images without width and height

    25 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 234 ms

    234 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 234 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 174 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 174 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (38), other files 718 KiB (92) and HTML 447 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (42 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 90.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 7988
  • 21 text elements with low contrast

    21 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 24 images without alt text

    24 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.

  • 11 links without text

    11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 4 form fields without a label

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 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

7 to fixGoogle 4645
  • Page is set to noindex

    The robots meta tag says “noindex”: Google is told not to list this page at all.

  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Blocked from indexing

    Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.

  • Title is short (18 characters)

    Your title is only 18 characters: “HarneyHardware.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Login To View Net Prices To View Net Prices” and “Recover Password”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 196 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 196 pages on harneycatalog.com and 0 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://harneycatalog.com/.

  • 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://harneycatalog.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.

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 (698 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://harneycatalog.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix0
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://harneycatalog.com/collections/austin-bathroom-hardware-set, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 62 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 30 small tap targets

    30 of 39 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • No call to action on the first screen

    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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 272 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 272 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Large Order Discounts”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 5 phone links and 4 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 harneycatalog.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
