Speed
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 294 KiB9 images could be 294 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
650 ms · 140 KiBAbout 140 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Minify JavaScript
200 ms · 43 KiB43 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 27 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (nice-team.net, Shopify and nfcube.com and others), adding 231 KiB and 75 ms of main-thread time.
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: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 227 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.8 s
8.8 sYour largest element takes 8.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 8.9 s
8.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016
0.016The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
File_000_8_copy.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 60.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 135 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 135 requests on a phone: other files 751 KiB (83), images 563 KiB (10) and scripts 376 KiB (34). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor 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. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 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 long (79 characters)
Your title is 79 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Plum Porch Gift Shop on Cape Cod in Marstons Mills – The Plum Porch on Cape Cod”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (316 characters)
Your meta description is 316 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
83 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 83 pages on plumporch.com and 9 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The Plum Porch on Cape Cod”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://plumporch.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

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 (533 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
14 pages without a meta description
/collections/flip-flops, /collections/cardigans, /collections/apparel-childrens-online, /collections/clothing-footwear-view-all, /collections/jewelry-online and /collections/handbags-online and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
14 pages without an H1
/collections/flip-flops, /collections/cardigans, /collections/apparel-childrens-online, /collections/clothing-footwear-view-all, /collections/jewelry-online and /collections/handbags-online and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 179 words
The homepage has only about 179 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Email authentication

Email authentication score: 60/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
