Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 173 KiB5 images could be 173 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
290 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 12 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, searchserverapi.com and Key CDN and others), adding 340 KiB and 100 ms of main-thread time.
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.

A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 239 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s
8.0 sYour largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 8.0 s
8.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.8 s
3.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.009
0.009The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.009, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 27.1 MB in 137 requests
27.1 MBYour homepage downloads 27.1 MB in 137 requests on a phone: media 25.5 MB (2), other files 724 KiB (77) and images 402 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (82 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 7.7 g of CO₂ per visit
7.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.67 g of CO₂e: 920.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex, nofollow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
Title is short (17 characters)
Your title is only 17 characters: “Talking Tables US”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.talkingtables.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
5 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 5 pages on talkingtables.com and 18 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Ceramic Strawberry Spoon Rest”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.talkingtables.com/password.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.talkingtables.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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (301 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

1 internal page checked
We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. 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 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 263 words of copy
The homepage carries about 263 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking

5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

Security, domain, email and software versions
