Speed

10 to fix60
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.5 s · 725 KiB

    About 725 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

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

  • Improve image delivery

    8.5 MB

    27 images could be 8.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Shopify and others), adding 8.7 MB and 400 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 86 ms

    86 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 86 ms of main-thread work and 7.8 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 122 KiB

    About 122 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,876 HTML elements

    The page has 1,876 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Klaviyo adds 107 ms

    107 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 107 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 58 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (58 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 55 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    29 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 107 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 49.4 s

    49.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 113 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 15.6 MB in 284 requests

    15.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 15.6 MB in 284 requests on a phone: images 12.6 MB (51), scripts 1.6 MB (88) and other files 912 KiB (117). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images over 500 KB

    12 images weigh 7.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 17 images far larger than shown

    6.3 MB

    17 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Petoskey_Holiday_3e442208-7427-4791-b8b6-759ef24ba33e.jpg at 2,843 px wide, shown at 266 px. Resized copies would save about 6.3 MB.

  • 18 images below the first screen load straight away

    18 images further down the page (8.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (1.4 MB) are 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.

  • About 4.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.42 g of CO₂e: 530.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7887
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 40 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 11 tap targets too small

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 36 links without text

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

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 60 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8576
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (14 characters)

    Your title is only 14 characters: “American Spoon”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Give Jam,” and “Spread Joy”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 203 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 203 pages on spoon.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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://spoon.com/sitemap.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 (883 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://spoon.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://spoon.com/collections/all, https://spoon.com/collections/best-sellers, https://spoon.com/collections/bundles, https://spoon.com/collections/new-limited-releases, https://spoon.com/collections/holiday-favorites-%F0%9F%8C%B2 and https://spoon.com/collections/website-jam-preserves-nut-butters and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://spoon.com/collections/holiday-favorites-%F0%9F%8C%B2, whose canonical is https://spoon.com/collections/holiday-favorites-%f0%9f%8c%b2. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    https://spoon.com/collections/all, https://spoon.com/collections/best-sellers, https://spoon.com/collections/bundles, https://spoon.com/collections/new-limited-releases, https://spoon.com/collections/holiday-favorites-%F0%9F%8C%B2 and https://spoon.com/collections/website-jam-preserves-nut-butters and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 62 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 42 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.

  • 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 770 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 770 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Bundle & Subscribe” and “Shop All Gifts”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 4 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 42 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 42 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
