lareault.com website review

16 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

The page has 1,630 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, cart-bot.net and shop.app), adding 85 KiB and 24 ms of main-thread time.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Your largest element takes 11.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “YOUR 2027 HARVEST STARTS HERE.”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 72 ms to 88 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 155 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (22), other files 675 KiB (69) and scripts 191 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Lareault_-_2026_Hero_2.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

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

The homepage links to 157 pages on lareault.com and 10 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://lareault.com/collections/strawberries, https://lareault.com/collections/early-strawberry-plants, https://lareault.com/collections/mid-season-strawberry-plants, https://lareault.com/collections/late-strawberry-plants, https://lareault.com/collections/day-neutral-strawberry-plants and https://lareault.com/collections/home-gardener-strawberries and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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 analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 311 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
