Render-blocking requests
800 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 125 KiBAbout 125 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 37 KiB3 images could be 37 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 105 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
32 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (searchatlas.com), adding 30 KiB and 13 ms of main-thread time.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
image 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).
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.14 g of CO₂e: 16.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 505 KiB in 36 requests
505 KiBYour homepage downloads 505 KiB in 36 requests on a phone: scripts 282 KiB (10), fonts 71 KiB (3) and images 57 KiB (8). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
32 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 32 pages on shipleydonuts.com and 6 external pages.

A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text

Content and conversion
No social proof

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.
Only about 95 words

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

3 checks passed
