Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
160 ms · 540 KiBAbout 540 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, rebuyengine.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.1 MB and 461 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 399 KiB7 images could be 399 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 220 ms
220 msShopify costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 481 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 128 ms
128 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 128 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.
1,604 HTML elements
The page has 1,604 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 231 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
91 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (91 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
43 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 268 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 268 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (100), other files 895 KiB (111) and images 770 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (177 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 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 (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 1 more 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.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
74 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 74 pages on oldspikeroastery.com and 6 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://oldspikeroastery.com/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.
3 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 (1,002 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://oldspikeroastery.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages

8 pages without an H1

Best practices
4 small tap targets
4 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'setAttribute')”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 562 words of copy
The homepage carries about 562 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NEW COFFEE”.
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Subscribe Subscribe” and “SHOP NEW COFFEE”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
20 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 20 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 oldspikeroastery.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
