One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
6.1 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.5 s · 612 KiBAbout 612 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 188 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (188 KiB).
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 369 KiB10 images could be 369 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 73). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Facebook and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 2.9 MB and 650 ms of main-thread time.
Squarespace adds 513 ms
513 msSquarespace costs a phone 513 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 76 KiBAbout 76 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 47 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Adobe TypeKit adds 3 ms
3 msAdobe TypeKit costs a phone 3 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 74 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 74 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (31), images 1.2 MB (12) and fonts 303 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (368 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 102.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), 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. (1 element).

Every image has alt text
All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 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
Title is short (12 characters)
Your title is only 12 characters: “Queen's Room”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Queen's Room is a new Bistro Bar in the heart of …” and “With a heavy Mediterranean influence, Queen's Roo…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (389 characters)
Your meta description is 389 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5addfb293917ee9afa5…”.
27 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 27 pages on queensroomnyc.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.queensroomnyc.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.queensroomnyc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. 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 /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.
1 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.
Other pages
2 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to /reservations and /contact-1, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
6 pages without a meta description
/reservationsandevents, /menu, /gallery, /about, /press and /contact have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
/menu, /gallery, /about, /press and /contact have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
/menu and /contact have 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 internal pages checked
We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/sitecss/5addfb293917ee9afa5c93b2/172/5b0d945a0e2e72…”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
15 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
2 broken links to your own pages
2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example http://queensroomnyc.com/reservations (404).
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/queensroomnyc.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy

No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (queensroomnyc.com).
Valid certificate (87 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for queensroomnyc.com and is valid for another 87 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://queensroomnyc.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
queensroomnyc.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
queensroomnyc.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 9 years old
9 yearsqueensroomnyc.com was registered in Aug 2017 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Aug 2027
queensroomnyc.com is registered until Aug 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
Only about 146 words
The homepage has only about 146 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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

8 checks passed

Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be queensroomnyc.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:squarespace-mail.com include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
