  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 48 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 100

    Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 34 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 34 ms

    34 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

100
  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

6 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the image “...”.

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.05 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.05 g of CO₂e: 6.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 192 KiB in 4 requests

    192 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 192 KiB in 4 requests on a phone: images 76 KiB (2), HTML 68 KiB (1) and fonts 48 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

    10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links must have discernible text (2 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Say it With Cake Bakery: Custom Cakes in Utah and Salt Lake County”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Say it With Cake Bakery” and “There's a cake for every occasion!”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 31 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on sayitwithcakebakery.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “I make custom buttercream cakes for any Utah or Salt Lake Valley occasion. From weddings to baby showers, order your cu…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://sayitwithcakebakery.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (252 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/llms.txt (1 KiB, 6 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix78
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/home all use the title “Say it With Cake Bakery: Custom Cakes in Utah and Salt Lake County”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/about-me, https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/cake-pricing, https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/cake-menu, https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/cake-gallery, https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/booking-info and https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/order-cake have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/cake-gallery and https://sayitwithcakebakery.com/order-cake 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.

  • 7 internal pages checked

    We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 7 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 7 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 225 words

    The homepage has only about 225 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “pricing”, “order cake” and “Order Cake”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 sayitwithcakebakery.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
