Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
17.7 s · 3.7 MB17 images could be 3.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 17.7 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.2 s · 1.4 MB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 584 KiBAbout 584 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32 (desktop: 27). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, b-cdn.net and Facebook and others), adding 5.6 MB and 874 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
610 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.
b-cdn.net adds 203 ms
203 msb-cdn.net costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 4.5 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.
Minify JavaScript
460 ms · 25 KiB25 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Google Tag Manager adds 309 ms
309 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 494 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.
Facebook adds 201 ms
201 msFacebook costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
84 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 751 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 75 ms
75 msYour server sent the HTML in 75 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 0.30
0.30For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.30 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 40.2 s
40.2 sYour largest element takes 40.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “AND THE CROWD GOES WILD OUR FLAVORS”.
Time to Interactive: 40.4 s
40.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 40.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s
4.9 sThe first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.597
0.597The layout shifts by 0.597 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user TTFB: 986 ms
986 msReal visitors wait 986 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 288 ms
288 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 288 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Largest content (LCP) got 29% faster for real visitors
-29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.7 MB in 112 requests
6.7 MBYour homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 112 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (26), scripts 1.3 MB (44) and HTML 128 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images in older formats
12 images (940 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.
9 images below the first screen load straight away
9 images further down the page (647 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 228.3 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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Hidden but focusable
12 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 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.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “Home - Pierre's Ice Cream”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
9 H1 headlines
There are 9 <h1> headlines (“Pierre’s Premium Ice Cream”, “Pierre’s Slender®” and “Lactose Free”). 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.
9 links crawlers can't follow
9 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
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.
79 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 79 pages on pierres.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 101 characters
Your meta description is 101 characters: “Ohio-based makers of ice cream, sherbet and sorbet, and frozen yogurt for retail or food service use.”.
Canonical URL set

Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://pierres.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://pierres.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 (723 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://pierres.com/products/premium-ice-cream-pints and https://pierres.com/products/lactose-free-premium-ice-cream have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
