southernbakedpie.com website review

About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

A phone's processor spends 10.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

The page has 3,482 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, route.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.2 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).

About 121 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 527 ms of main-thread work and 675 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 480 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

route.com costs a phone 404 ms of main-thread work and 542 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.

33 images could be 415 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 371 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.

rebuyengine.com costs a phone 325 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

Privy costs a phone 330 ms of main-thread work and 277 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 80 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

17 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

41 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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.

Your largest element takes 25.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 40.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.16 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

50 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

The layout shifts by 0.15 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 120 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 15.0 MB in 605 requests on a phone: media 6.9 MB (1), scripts 3.5 MB (200) and images 2.7 MB (95). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

GMP_Q29tcHJlc3NHSDAx_7.gif weighs 2.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

1 image (2.6 MB) 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.

Mobile_-_Holiday_Hosting.png 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 further down the page (47 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.25 g of CO₂e: 510.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

59 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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.

5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Your meta description is 231 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 117 pages on southernbakedpie.com and 8 external pages.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

There is no https://www.southernbakedpie.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.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.southernbakedpie.com/collections/our-pies/products/sweet-potato-pie, whose canonical is https://www.southernbakedpie.com/products/sweet-potato-pie. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://www.southernbakedpie.com/collections/thanksgiving-favorites, https://www.southernbakedpie.com/pages/locations and https://www.southernbakedpie.com/collections/our-pies have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

56 of 176 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
