Speed

4 to fix84
  • Mobile performance score: 84

    84/100

    Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • 2,478 HTML elements

    The page has 2,478 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 138 ms

    138 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 138 ms of main-thread work and 513 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 560 KiB and 144 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 40 KiB

    4 images could be 40 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    17 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 491 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix79
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Your largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “10,000+ grocery, drink, snack and household products, sourc…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.6 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.6 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 312 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 312 requests on a phone: other files 850 KiB (129), scripts 442 KiB (115) and images 421 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (295 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.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (215 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9596
  • 17 text elements with low contrast

    17 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (13 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Table header text should not be empty (1 element)

    Table header text should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers.

    <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9275
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (82 characters)

    Your title is 82 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Case-Pack Grocery Delivery in Toronto for Offices & Businesses | Order by the Case”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Your supermarket, delivered by the case.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 324 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 324 pages on orderbythecase.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

AI search readiness

4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,345 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://orderbythecase.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://orderbythecase.com/collections/ice-cream-toppings-and-cones, https://orderbythecase.com/collections/pudding-and-jelly and https://orderbythecase.com/collections/rice-cakes have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. 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 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 1,248 words of copy

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
