Speed

8 to fix65
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 388 KiB

    About 388 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and SocialShopWave and others), adding 1.1 MB and 469 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 123 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (123 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 65 KiB

    About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 220 ms

    220 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 478 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 153 KiB

    15 images could be 153 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 222 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).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix55
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.6 s

    9.6 s

    Your largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Ionic Lodge No. 526”.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.137

    0.137

    The layout shifts by 0.137 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 248 ms

    248 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 248 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 321 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 321 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (85), other files 1.0 MB (190) and images 784 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (24 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.94 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 112.7 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

6 to fixGoogle 7990
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    5 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (5 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 29 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 tap targets too small

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 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: 50 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 48 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 48 pages on ioniclodge526.com and 13 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Ionic Lodge No. 526 is one of two founding Freemason lodges of the Westboro Masonic Temple. Freemasonry is the oldest f…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “<img src="//ioniclodge526.com/cdn/shop/files/Ionic_Lodge_526_Seal_100x.png?v=1613096483" srcset="//ioniclodge526.com/cd…”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Ionic Lodge A.F. & A.M. No. 526 – Ionic Lodge #526”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ioniclodge526.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Product and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://ioniclodge526.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://ioniclodge526.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://ioniclodge526.com/products/join-us-for-diner and https://ioniclodge526.com/collections/homepage/products/join-us-for-diner all use the title “Join Us for Dinner! – Ionic Lodge #526”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://ioniclodge526.com/blogs/the-masters-message and https://ioniclodge526.com/blogs/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://ioniclodge526.com/products/join-us-for-diner and https://ioniclodge526.com/collections/homepage/products/join-us-for-diner use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://ioniclodge526.com/collections/homepage/products/join-us-for-diner, whose canonical is https://ioniclodge526.com/products/join-us-for-diner. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error producing monorail event MonorailRequestError: Error completing request. A network failure may have prevented the…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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 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 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 414 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 414 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Reserve your Seat” and “Subscribe”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (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.

  • 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
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 ioniclodge526.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
