Speed
Main-thread work: 12.0 s
A phone's processor spends 12.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 6
6/100Your mobile performance score is 6 (desktop: 47). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,548 HTML elements
The page has 3,548 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 (Google Tag Manager, Insider and Freshchat and others), adding 2.8 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB 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
150 ms · 1,007 KiB49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1,007 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 955 ms
955 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 955 ms of main-thread work and 738 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
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 241 KiBAbout 241 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 755 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Insider adds 648 ms
648 msInsider costs a phone 648 ms of main-thread work and 377 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.
Freshchat adds 501 ms
501 msFreshchat costs a phone 501 ms of main-thread work and 861 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.
Document request latency
583 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Facebook adds 281 ms
281 msFacebook costs a phone 281 ms of main-thread work and 282 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.
Legacy JavaScript
49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
47 KiB5 images could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 47 but mobile only 6. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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 CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.9 s
9.9 sYour largest element takes 9.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “shop seasalt new”.
Speed Index: 16.5 s

39.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 39.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s
6.8 sThe first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 2.9 s
2.9 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.9 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.448
0.448The layout shifts by 0.448 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Real-user INP: 232 ms
232 msReal visitors wait 232 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors
+24%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 4.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

Real-user TTFB: 1.6 s
1.6 sReal visitors wait 1.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 256 ms to 307 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.1 MB in 502 requests
6.1 MBYour homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 502 requests on a phone: scripts 3.5 MB (309), images 1.1 MB (79) and HTML 901 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (58 KiB) is 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (87 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.72 g of CO₂e: 206.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 12 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“EMBRACE”, “THE CHANGE” and “New Menswear”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
473 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 473 pages on seasaltcornwall.com and 9 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 150 characters

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.seasaltcornwall.com/media/sitemap/uk_sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,219 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/customer/privacy_settings, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
8 pages without a meta description
https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/locations, https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/need-help/customer-service, https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/need-help/delivery, https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/need-help/returns, https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/need-help/size-guide and https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/check-giftcard-balance and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 5 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/need-help/customer-service, whose canonical is https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/customer-service. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page slow to respond
https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/waterproof-jackets-raincoats/new-arrivals took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
23 of 28 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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 1,021 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,021 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
36 cookies set on arrival
36Opening the homepage sets 36 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
40 other companies contacted
