Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.2 s · 1.3 MB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 358 KiB8 images could be 358 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
570 ms · 125 KiBAbout 125 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 570 ms faster on a phone.
2,014 HTML elements
The page has 2,014 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, edit.site and Google Analytics), adding 293 KiB and 189 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 28 KiBAbout 28 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 427 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 27 ms
27 msYour server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.1 s
16.1 sYour largest element takes 16.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “image”.
Time to Interactive: 19.0 s
19.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.6 s
5.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.115
0.115The layout shifts by 0.115 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 126 ms
126 msScripts block the page for only 126 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 58 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 58 requests on a phone: other files 2.0 MB (15), images 990 KiB (12) and scripts 376 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (35 KiB) is 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (57 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.6 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
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h4 and h4 → h6), 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. (3 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “Progressive Produce”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
14 H1 headlines
There are 14 <h1> headlines (“What We Grow”, “Field Notes” and “1967”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (170 characters)
Your meta description is 170 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.
12 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 12 pages on progressiveproduce.com and 11 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.progressiveproduce.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.progressiveproduce.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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://www.progressiveproduce.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 (657 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.progressiveproduce.com/news/pacific-trellis-fruit-and-progressive-produce-name-rodolfo-spielmann-president-and-chief-executive-officer-1, whose canonical is https://www.progressiveproduce.com/news/post. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://www.progressiveproduce.com/news has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.progressiveproduce.com/news/pacific-trellis-fruit-and-progressive-produce-name-rodolfo-spielmann-president-and-chief-executive-officer-1 has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

8 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 662 words of copy
The homepage carries about 662 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
1 short form
A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 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.
7 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 progressiveproduce.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
