Speed

10 to fix32
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.4 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.4 s · 835 KiB

    31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (835 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.5 s

    25 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your mobile performance score is 32 (desktop: 46). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 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 (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google Maps and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 120 KiB

    About 120 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 819 ms

    819 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 819 ms of main-thread work and 870 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Maps adds 167 ms

    167 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 167 ms of main-thread work and 392 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.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 227 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 5 KiB

    1 image could be 5 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.

  • 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 JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.4 s

    23.4 s

    Your largest element takes 23.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.7 s

    24.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.3 s

    11.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 942 ms

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 35% slower for real visitors

    +35%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 95 ms to 125 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% slower for real visitors

    +30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 924 ms

    924 ms

    Real visitors wait 924 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 18 images without width and height

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

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 134 ms

    134 ms

    Real visitors wait 134 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.098

    0.098

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.098, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.3 MB in 171 requests

    5.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 171 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (63), images 2.2 MB (33) and fonts 239 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 11 images in older formats

    11 images (1.4 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.50 g of CO₂e: 179.4 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

6 to fixGoogle 8291
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 21 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 23 links without text

    23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 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 (h1 → 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).

1 checks passed
  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8595
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 110 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 110 pages on kitchensaver.com and 2 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “Transform your kitchen without the cost of a full remodel. Kitchen Saver's refacing experts use premium materials backe…”.

  • One H1 headline

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Experts | Kitchen Saver”.

  • Canonical URL set

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,480 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.kitchensaver.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 21 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://www.kitchensaver.com/cabinet-refacing-gallery and https://www.kitchensaver.com/cabinet-refacing-gallery/before-and-after-refacing all use the title “Before and After Cabinet Refacing Gallery | Kitchen Saver”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

    3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

  • Pasting is blocked

    A form field blocks pasting, which frustrates password managers and people on phones.

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Missing source maps

1 checks passed

  • No opening hours

  • About 572 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 572 words of visible text.

7 checks passed

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • LocalBusiness structured data

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 mores (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.

  • 32 cookies set on arrival

    32

    Opening the homepage sets 32 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 50 other companies contacted

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