Speed

2 to fix68
  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    250 ms · 71 KiB

    8 images could be 71 KiB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    About 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, FontAwesome CDN and shop.app), adding 280 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    9 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 202 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix61
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Your largest element takes 7.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.145

    0.145

    The layout shifts by 0.145 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

    8 images 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.38 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.38 g of CO₂e: 45.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.3 MB in 147 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 147 requests on a phone: other files 693 KiB (84), scripts 264 KiB (34) and images 218 KiB (18). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8292
  • 42 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 8 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 11 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9284
  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “Legacy Brackets”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (36 characters)

    Your meta description is only 36 characters: “Hidden granite brackets and supports”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 30 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 30 pages on legacybrackets.com and 13 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “<img src="//legacybrackets.com/cdn/shop/files/LB_Rectangle_Logo_450x.jpg?v=1727900319" srcset="//legacybrackets.com/cdn…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://legacybrackets.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://legacybrackets.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

5 to fix63
  • 1 page without a title

    https://legacybrackets.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://legacybrackets.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://legacybrackets.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://legacybrackets.com/collections/all-producs and https://legacybrackets.com/collections/frontpage have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 10 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://legacybrackets.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-original-bridge-bracket, whose canonical is https://legacybrackets.com/products/the-original-bridge-bracket. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://legacybrackets.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v4.7.0/css/font-awesome-css.min.css' from origin 'htt…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    25 of 26 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 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.

  • Only about 230 words

    The homepage has only about 230 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop” and “Sign Up”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
