spoonsandforks.ca website review

About 436 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (225 KiB).

12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

13 images could be 174 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 284 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

Your largest element takes 10.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “banner”.

The layout shifts by 1.221 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 444 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

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.

empty-cart.gif weighs 718 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 74 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (33), scripts 706 KiB (12) and fonts 367 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (718 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.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example empty-cart.gif at 640 px wide, shown at 160 px. Resized copies would save about 314 KiB.

2 images further down the page (66 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

16 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 60 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

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.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

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

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://spoonsandforks.ca/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

A phone browser shows 251 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

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://spoonsandforks.ca/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.

15 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 251 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.
