Speed

3 to fix83
  • Mobile performance score: 83

    83/100

    Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    250 ms · 414 KiB

    24 images could be 414 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 252 KiB and 35 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 253 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix79
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Your largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.1 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • 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

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 207 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 207 requests on a phone: images 950 KiB (25), other files 764 KiB (90) and scripts 266 KiB (61). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.62 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9794
  • 38 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9272
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 45 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on lizzyscandle.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Lizzy's Candle – Lizzy's Candle”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://lizzyscandle.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://lizzyscandle.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (548 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

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

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://lizzyscandle.com/customer_authentication/redirect took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    42 of 42 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 271 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 271 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • 16 short forms

    16 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 lizzyscandle.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
