Speed

11 to fix36
  • Improve image delivery

    3.8 s · 4.3 MB

    26 images could be 4.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.3 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 5.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 327 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (327 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.0 s of main-thread work and 1.5 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 36

    36/100

    Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 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, Facebook and TikTok and others), adding 2.1 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 900 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    500 ms · 73 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 73 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 401 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 316 ms

    316 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 316 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    105 KiB

    About 105 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 48 ms

    48 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 48 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 1.54

    1.54

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 1.54 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 32.6 s

    32.6 s

    Your largest element takes 32.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Newk's Eatery home”.

  • Time to Interactive: 38.6 s

    38.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 38.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 288 ms

    288 ms

    Real visitors wait 288 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 213 ms to 287 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 18 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user TTFB: 629 ms

    629 ms

    Real visitors wait 629 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 17.4 MB in 226 requests

    17.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 17.4 MB in 226 requests on a phone: media 8.5 MB (1), images 5.2 MB (72) and scripts 3.1 MB (54). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    newks_chocolate-cake-slice_32727.png weighs 1.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    1.6 MB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example newks_chocolate-cake-slice_32727.png at 2,477 px wide, shown at 168 px. Resized copies would save about 1.6 MB.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (2.4 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (2.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 4.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.94 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.94 g of CO₂e: 593.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9595
  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 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 (1 element)

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

1 checks passed
  • 47 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: 47 passed and 3 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 9279
  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Home | Newk's Eatery”. 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.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Newk's Homepage” and “Pick Up From This Location?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 90 characters

    Your meta description is 90 characters: “Order Ahead at Newk's Eatery. Place Orders Online or on your Mobile Phone. Skip the Line®.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://newks.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://www.newks.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    7%

    A phone browser shows 379 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 26. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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://newks.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.

1 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.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 24 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • 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 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 379 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 379 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Order Now”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 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 newks.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
