Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.3 s · 730 KiBAbout 730 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.8 s · 279 KiB6 images could be 279 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 186 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (186 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, cloudfront.net and Key CDN and others), adding 1.8 MB and 748 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
YouTube adds 453 ms
453 msYouTube costs a phone 453 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
130 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 179 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 976 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 8.5 s
8.5 sThe first text or image appears after 8.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.8 s
17.8 sYour largest element takes 17.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 18.5 s
18.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.5 s
9.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors
+18%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 73 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 195 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 195 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (66), other files 746 KiB (94) and images 350 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
50 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example home_slide_2.jpg at 1,536 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 50 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (146 KiB) 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.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.89 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
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.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
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.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
109 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 109 pages on noblegrape.ca and 8 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 158 characters
Your meta description is 158 characters: “With one of the widest varieties of beer, wine, and spirits making supplies, we continuously seek out the latest, best …”.
Title: 43 characters
Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Noble Grape...for the passionate winemaker.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.noblegrape.ca/.
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://www.noblegrape.ca/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://www.noblegrape.ca/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 (398 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.noblegrape.ca/collections/on-the-house has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 83 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
2 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search

Best practices
16 small tap targets
16 of 34 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 231 words
The homepage has only about 231 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
5 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Winexpert Private Reserve”, “Winexpert Reserve” and “E-Mail Signup”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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
15Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 1 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.
33 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 33 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 noblegrape.ca, 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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
