Speed

14 to fix49
  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 9.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,687 HTML elements

    The page has 3,687 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (minmaxify.com, alia-prod.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.0 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    250 ms · 561 KiB

    9 images could be 561 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • minmaxify.com adds 789 ms

    789 ms

    minmaxify.com costs a phone 789 ms of main-thread work and 9 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • alia-prod.com adds 637 ms

    637 ms

    alia-prod.com costs a phone 637 ms of main-thread work and 844 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.

  • Shopify adds 543 ms

    543 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 543 ms of main-thread work and 394 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

    150 ms · 343 KiB

    About 343 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    492 KiB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (492 KiB).

  • Klaviyo adds 278 ms

    278 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 278 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 298 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 277 ms

    277 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 277 ms of main-thread work and 201 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 CSS

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    70 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    24 KiB

    24 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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 JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 6.3 MB in 402 requests

    6.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 402 requests on a phone: images 3.3 MB (38), scripts 1.6 MB (162) and other files 877 KiB (167). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.78 g of CO₂e: 214.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 10091
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (7 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 7 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed

Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10082

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “River Street Sweets® | Savannah's World Famous Pralines & Southern Can”.

Content and conversion

2 to fix85

    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 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.

  • 12 short forms

  • Phone number on the homepage

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 8 of them by other companies (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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 riverstreetsweets.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
