Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 367 KiBAbout 367 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: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 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 (Signyfyd, Shopify and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 1.2 MB25 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 296 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (296 KiB).
Signyfyd adds 790 ms
790 msSignyfyd costs a phone 790 ms of main-thread work and 280 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.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Shopify adds 336 ms
336 msShopify costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 548 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 374 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Cloudflare CDN adds 313 ms
313 msCloudflare CDN costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 42 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.
Minify JavaScript
180 ms · 65 KiB65 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
17 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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: 4.6 MB in 366 requests
4.6 MBYour homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 366 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (31), other files 1.5 MB (257) and scripts 1.3 MB (61). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
9 images far larger than shown
1.8 MB9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example pl-cut-hs.webp at 546 px wide, shown at 141 px. Resized copies would save about 1.8 MB.
14 images in older formats
14 images (3.7 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.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.30 g of CO₂e: 155.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast

All page content should be contained by landmarks (21 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 21 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.

Every image has alt text
All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 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: 48 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores 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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 60 pages on jerseypickles.com and 0 external pages.

3 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 (1,127 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://jerseypickles.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://jerseypickles.com/pages/build-you-box, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
4 pages without a meta description
https://jerseypickles.com/pages/store-locator-2, https://jerseypickles.com/pages/canada, https://jerseypickles.com/collections/best-boxes and https://jerseypickles.com/pages/our-story have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://jerseypickles.com/pages/canada and https://jerseypickles.com/pages/our-story have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
