Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 262 KiBAbout 262 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Hotjar adds 325 ms
325 msHotjar costs a phone 325 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Klaviyo adds 239 ms
239 msKlaviyo costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 328 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.
Shopify adds 165 ms
165 msShopify costs a phone 165 ms of main-thread work and 722 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.
1,760 HTML elements
The page has 1,760 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 63 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (63 KiB).
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 235 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
208 KiB9 images could be 208 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
63 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 63 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 399 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 399 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (212), other files 806 KiB (116) and images 612 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.8 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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
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)
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “QUALITY PRODUCTS DESIGNED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWES…” and “QUALITY PRODUCTS DESIGNED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWES…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (178 characters)
Your meta description is 178 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
116 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 116 pages on thelifetimefence.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Jewett Cameron Fence | Adjust-a-Gate® | Lifetime Steel Post®”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://jewettcameronfence.com/.
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://jewettcameronfence.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
3 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 (794 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://jewettcameronfence.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://jewettcameronfence.com/pages/jc-lumber declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
4 pages share 2 titles
/ and https://jewettcameronfence.com/pages/jc-lumber all use the title “Jewett Cameron Fence | Adjust-a-Gate® | Lifetime Steel Post®”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://jewettcameronfence.com/collections/best-sellers has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages share a meta description
https://jewettcameronfence.com/collections and https://jewettcameronfence.com/pages/jc-lumber use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

21 of 25 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

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.
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 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 665 words of copy
The homepage carries about 665 words of visible text.

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

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