Speed

12 to fix61
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 755 KiB

    About 755 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,048 HTML elements

    The page has 4,048 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 1.0 MB

    30 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (naviplus.app, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 3.4 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 550 KiB

    71 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (550 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 112 KiB

    About 112 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • naviplus.app adds 457 ms

    457 ms

    naviplus.app costs a phone 457 ms of main-thread work and 594 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 266 ms

    266 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 266 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 279 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    51 KiB

    51 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix63
  • Time to Interactive: 25.0 s

    25.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Your largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Fully ripened Ashley cheese oozing with creaminess, sliced …”.

  • Speed Index: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 45 images without width and height

    45 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 263 ms

    263 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 263 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix52
  • Page weight: 6.3 MB in 640 requests

    6.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 640 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (97), scripts 1.9 MB (249) and other files 1.2 MB (235). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Equation-Logo_Black-Text.png 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).

  • 28 images below the first screen load straight away

    28 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    151 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Equation-Logo_Black-Text.png at 8,192 px wide, shown at 324 px. Resized copies would save about 151 KiB.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.80 g of CO₂e: 215.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 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 (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 47 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“MouCo Cheese Company” and “MouCo Cheese Company®”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 82 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 82 pages on mouco.com and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “From Colorado to kitchens worldwide, MouCo Cheese brings families together over award-winning creations. Find us in Kin…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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://mouco.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 (769 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    https://mouco.com/collections/mouco-cheese 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 (of 39 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 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 713 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 713 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact Us” and “How do we do it? Learn more here →”.

  • 1 short form

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

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 Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 42 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 42 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 mouco.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
