8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and Yotpo and others), adding 9.2 MB and 247 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 424 KiBAbout 424 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.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 22 ms
22 msShopify costs a phone 22 ms of main-thread work and 8.8 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 100 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (100 KiB).
Improve image delivery
313 KiB12 images could be 313 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2,849 HTML elements
The page has 2,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 72 KiBAbout 72 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb 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 JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 21.2 MB in 169 requests
21.2 MBYour homepage downloads 21.2 MB in 169 requests on a phone: media 18.4 MB (5), images 764 KiB (19) and other files 751 KiB (84). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 6.0 g of CO₂ per visit
6.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.00 g of CO₂e: 719.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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://talalighting.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (609 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://talalighting.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://talalighting.com/pages/delivery-returns, whose canonical is https://talalighting.com/pages/delivery-information. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://talalighting.com/pages/professionals has 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 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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: 1 trust badge. 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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 408 words of copy
The homepage carries about 408 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP ALL” and “SHOP BY ROOM”.
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop All” and “Shop By Room”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
20 cookies set on arrival
20Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
31 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
