Speed

4 to fix41
  • Improve image delivery

    22.6 s · 10.8 MB

    22 images could be 10.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 22.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    610 ms · 84 KiB

    About 84 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Adobe TypeKit and Google Tag Manager), adding 461 KiB and 75 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    42 KiB

    About 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    26 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26 KiB).

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 180 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.46

    0.46

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.46 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 44.1 s

    44.1 s

    Your largest element takes 44.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Roasters Edition”.

  • Time to Interactive: 45.8 s

    45.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 45.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.2 s

    11.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.543

    0.543

    The layout shifts by 0.543 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 95 ms

    95 ms

    Real visitors wait 95 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 525 ms

    525 ms

    Real visitors wait 525 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 1 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 11.8 MB in 42 requests

    11.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.8 MB in 42 requests on a phone: images 11.1 MB (27), scripts 519 KiB (6) and fonts 132 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images over 500 KB

    9 images weigh 8.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    4.2 MB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Thanks_a_million_gft_card.png at 1,000 px wide, shown at 125 px. Resized copies would save about 4.2 MB.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (11.1 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (317 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.35 g of CO₂e: 402.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9194
  • 10 tap targets too small

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

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 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 (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9291
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 50 internal links, 20 external

    The homepage links to 50 pages on insomnia.ie and 20 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “We're passionate about great coffee, find your nearest Insomnia Coffee Shop. Join Insomnia Treats and be rewarded with …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Home IE”.

  • Title: 41 characters

    Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Insomnia Coffee Ireland | Insomnia Coffee”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.insomnia.ie/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.insomnia.ie/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.insomnia.ie/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (203 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://www.insomnia.ie/menu and https://www.insomnia.ie/menu/our-menu all use the title “Insomnia Coffee Menu | Insomnia Coffee”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.insomnia.ie/menu and https://www.insomnia.ie/menu/our-menu use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.insomnia.ie/nearest-coffee-shop/kiosk has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 33 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 21 small tap targets

    21 of 71 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

2 to fix89
  • 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.

  • Only about 227 words

    The homepage has only about 227 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.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “NEAREST COFFEE SHOP”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Treats” and “Nearest Coffee shop”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

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