Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.4 s · 720 KiBAbout 720 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.7 s · 454 KiB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (454 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 310 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,898 HTML elements
The page has 1,898 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Optanon adds 32 ms
32 msOptanon costs a phone 32 ms of main-thread work and 293 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.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 194 KiB14 images could be 194 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Convert Insights, Trust Pilot and Optanon and others), adding 491 KiB and 189 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
52 KiBAbout 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 144 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 144 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (49), images 748 KiB (36) and other files 274 KiB (50). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (90 KiB) is 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.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.91 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.91 g of CO₂e: 109.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images 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
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.net/action/0?ti=19003905&Ver=2&mid=66a6ab19-346d-4ffd-a672-908cc5f58b34&bo=3&pi=918639831&lg=en-US&sw=390&sh=844&sc=24&nwd=1&tl=Flower%20Delivery%20%7C%20Send%20Flowers%20with%20Inter.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
47 of 54 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 780 words of copy
The homepage carries about 780 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “bookAddress book” and “Shop best value blooms”.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
14 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) 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 interflora.co.uk, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
