Render-blocking requests
3.6 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 5.9 MB and 879 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 441 KiBAbout 441 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
607 KiB5 images could be 607 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 94 ms
94 msShopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 4.8 MB 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 423 ms
423 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 423 ms of main-thread work and 714 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: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
272 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (272 KiB).
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 163 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
37 KiBAbout 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 18.7 s
18.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.2 s
5.2 sThe first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.0 s
10.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.2 s
5.2 sYour largest element takes 5.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Sonoma Roasters produces traditional and low-acid 100% orga…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).
Total Blocking Time: 291 ms
291 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 291 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.5 MB in 411 requests
8.5 MBYour homepage downloads 8.5 MB in 411 requests on a phone: media 4.4 MB (2), scripts 1.6 MB (157) and other files 1.3 MB (224). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
356 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example sonoma-roaster-equipment-hero-verified.png at 1,500 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 356 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (115 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.40 g of CO₂e: 287.8 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
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
17 links without text
17 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

1 page without a meta description
https://sonomaroasters.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
7 pages share a meta description
https://sonomaroasters.com/pages/services, https://sonomaroasters.com/pages/packaging, https://sonomaroasters.com/pages/about-us, https://sonomaroasters.com/blogs/roasting-notes, https://sonomaroasters.com/policies/refund-policy and https://sonomaroasters.com/policies/privacy-policy and 1 other use the same meta description.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 1,127 words of copy
