Speed

10 to fix62
  • Main-thread work: 4.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 647 ms

    647 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 647 ms of main-thread work and 690 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    652 KiB

    About 652 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    402 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (402 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    326 KiB

    3 images could be 326 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Klaviyo adds 257 ms

    257 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.

  • 1,803 HTML elements

    The page has 1,803 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    161 KiB

    About 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    45 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 25.2 s

    25.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 865 ms

    865 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 865 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors

    +29%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 158 ms to 197 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 27% slower for real visitors

    +27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Your largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Arched Entry Doors”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.6 s).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 145 ms

    145 ms

    Real visitors wait 145 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user TTFB: 791 ms

    791 ms

    Real visitors wait 791 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 7.2 MB in 374 requests

    7.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.2 MB in 374 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (70), scripts 2.1 MB (156) and other files 862 KiB (125). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (1.1 MB) 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.

  • 14 images below the first screen load straight away

    14 images further down the page (685 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.04 g of CO₂e: 244.6 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

5 to fixGoogle 9193
  • 6 tap targets too small

    6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 20 images without alt text

    20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 114 links without text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“RealCraft” and “Arched Entry Doors”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 22 links crawlers can't follow

    22 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 253 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 253 pages on realcraft.com and 13 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Solid wood front doors, carriage garage doors, and barn doors, handcrafted to order in Gig Harbor, WA. Over 20 wood spe…”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “RealCraft Wood Front Doors, Exterior Doors, Barn Doors & Hardware”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://realcraft.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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 (1,786 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://realcraft.com/llms.txt (9 KiB, 33 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://realcraft.com/pages/rcr-case-studies has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://realcraft.com/pages/rcr-case-studies has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10078
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=14006413&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=2b736554-ad56-45d7-bd05-3ce0146dfdde&bo=1&sid=a2ac5c10da6d11f19a57997342c6a0c0&vid=a2ac96e0da6d11f195a9497b907f3e7a&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • 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.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 412 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 412 words of visible text.

6 checks passed

A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 36 cookies set on arrival
