Speed
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Freshchat, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 11.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 327 ms
327 msShopify costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 9.4 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.
Improve image delivery
1.0 MB24 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 792 KiBAbout 792 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Freshchat adds 587 ms
587 msFreshchat costs a phone 587 ms of main-thread work and 840 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 92 KiBAbout 92 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
417 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (417 KiB).
Klaviyo adds 179 ms
179 msKlaviyo costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 353 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.
1,501 HTML elements
The page has 1,501 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 208 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.3 MB in 399 requests
14.3 MBYour homepage downloads 14.3 MB in 399 requests on a phone: media 8.7 MB (3), scripts 2.6 MB (124) and images 1.6 MB (54). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images far larger than shown
579 KiB12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example customer-flow-hive-review-hillary-s-01_large.webp at 360 px wide, shown at 63 px. Resized copies would save about 579 KiB.
23 images in older formats
23 images (1.5 MB) are 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.
21 images below the first screen load straight away
21 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.07 g of CO₂e: 487.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
32 images without alt text
32 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (39 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 39 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
23 links without text
23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6, h2 → h6 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://www.honeyflow.com.au/search?q={search_term_string}")”.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 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.

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 (1,504 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.honeyflow.com.au/pages/start, https://www.honeyflow.com.au/collections/on-sale-and-specials, https://www.honeyflow.com.au/collections/flow-supers-and-brood-boxes, https://www.honeyflow.com.au/collections/accessories-and-upgrades and https://www.honeyflow.com.au/pages/honey have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.honeyflow.com.au/collections/flow-supers-and-brood-boxes and https://www.honeyflow.com.au/collections/accessories-and-upgrades have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
