Speed
Improve image delivery
22.6 s · 10.8 MB22 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 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your 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 KiBAbout 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
42 KiBAbout 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
26 KiB3 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 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.8 MB in 42 requests
11.8 MBYour 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 MB6 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 gBy 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
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
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
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 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.

Best practices
21 small tap targets

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
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

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

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
1Before 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
2Opening 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
