Speed
Main-thread work: 6.5 s
A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 (POWr, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 990 KiB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
348 KiB18 images could be 348 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
319 KiBAbout 319 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
POWr adds 301 ms
301 msPOWr costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 13 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.
2,936 HTML elements
The page has 2,936 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google Tag Manager adds 220 ms
220 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
213 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (213 KiB).
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
17 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 372 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 372 requests on a phone: other files 1.5 MB (261), images 1.2 MB (41) and scripts 930 KiB (60). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
49 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example dog_3.png at 390 px wide, shown at 24 px. Resized copies would save about 49 KiB.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 127.9 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 load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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 (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 64 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 7 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 long (90 characters)
Your title is 90 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Russell Feed | Feed, Pet, and Garden Supplies Store for Fort Worth – Russell Feed & Supply”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Russell Feed & Supply” and “Russell Feed & Supply”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (320 characters)
Your meta description is 320 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
754 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 754 pages on russellfeed.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.russellfeed.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://www.russellfeed.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.
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 (1,296 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.russellfeed.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.russellfeed.com/collections/dog-food-2/Freeze-Dried-Dog-Food, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
Best practices
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
65 of 69 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.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
A 11-field form
Your longest form asks for 11 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 405 words of copy
The homepage carries about 405 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop Organic”, “Henhouse Reserve Feed for Chickens” and “See Schedule by Store”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.
17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 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.
28 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 28 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 russellfeed.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
