Improve image delivery
18.1 s · 5.0 MB11 images could be 5.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 18.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
3,182 HTML elements
The page has 3,182 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 173 KiBAbout 173 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
421 KiBAbout 421 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Shopify adds 218 ms
218 msShopify costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 483 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 824 ms 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 (Shopify, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Google CDN and others), adding 999 KiB and 456 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 163 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
24 KiB24 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
17 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.6 MB in 319 requests
8.6 MBYour homepage downloads 8.6 MB in 319 requests on a phone: images 6.3 MB (35), other files 1.2 MB (147) and scripts 827 KiB (121). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
SC-HolidayChristmasMerch-Shirts-Wrapping-2026-H.jpg weighs 3.5 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
3.6 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example SC-HolidayChristmasMerch-Shirts-Wrapping-2026-H.jpg at 5,404 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 3.6 MB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
IceCream-AdventCalendar-Mobile.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (25 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.43 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.43 g of CO₂e: 291.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
[aria-*] attributes do not have valid values
[aria-*] attributes do not have valid values (1 element).
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.
10 links without text
10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 154 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Sarris Candies”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
199 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 199 pages on sarriscandies.com and 14 external pages.

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

2 pages share a meta description
