Speed

13 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.8 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.6 s · 470 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (470 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. 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, 1.9 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, Google Maps and Facebook and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    510 ms · 60 KiB

    About 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 510 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 446 ms

    446 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 446 ms of main-thread work and 646 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    328 KiB

    8 images could be 328 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Maps adds 244 ms

    244 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 244 ms of main-thread work and 453 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.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 250 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 179 ms

    179 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.

  • LiveChat adds 111 ms

    111 ms

    LiveChat costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 364 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

    200 ms · 58 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.036

    0.036

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.036, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.8 MB in 277 requests

    4.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 277 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (99), images 1.0 MB (33) and other files 786 KiB (126). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (140 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 162.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 7486
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Buy Gift Card”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 57 internal links, 12 external

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

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.

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (747 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://lonestargrillz.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://lonestargrillz.com/collections/accessories, https://lonestargrillz.com/blogs/news and https://lonestargrillz.com/blogs/recipes have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (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.

  • 41 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 41 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 lonestargrillz.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
