Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 656 KiB13 images could be 656 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.7 s
A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,353 HTML elements
The page has 3,353 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
547 KiBAbout 547 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 433 ms
433 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 433 ms of main-thread work and 498 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.
Shopify adds 272 ms
272 msShopify costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
239 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (239 KiB).
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
78 KiB78 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
34 KiBAbout 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 409 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 409 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (165), images 1.4 MB (47) and other files 868 KiB (144). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
poster-strip-fire.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).
1 image far larger than shown
22 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example precast-ivory.jpg at 1,100 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 22 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (168 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 148.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 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)
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.

Every image has alt text
All 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Lumacast | Modern Concrete Fire Features for Inspired Outdoor Living”.
Meta description is long (247 characters)
Your meta description is 247 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
12 links crawlers can't follow
12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
247 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 247 pages on lumacast.com and 18 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “LUMACAST — Architectural concrete fire features, water features and sculptural furnishings, handcrafted in California”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://lumacast.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.
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://lumacast.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://lumacast.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 (1,079 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://lumacast.com/pages/2026-trade-program has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://lumacast.com/collections/fire-features and https://lumacast.com/collections/made-to-order have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
