Speed

7 to fix79
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 252 KiB

    About 252 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    5.4 MB

    6 images could be 5.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, cloudfront.net and website-files.com and others), adding 6.0 MB and 155 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 14 ms

    14 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 14 ms of main-thread work and 5.6 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.

  • Google CDN adds 120 ms

    120 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 120 ms of main-thread work and 359 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 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 84 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix74
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Your largest element takes 4.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Have your King, Queen, Twin, Lap or Baby quilts finished on…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 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.

3 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.084

    0.084

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.084, good is under 0.1).

  • Speed Index: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • 5 images over 500 KB

    5 images weigh 5.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 6.0 MB in 20 requests

    6.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 20 requests on a phone: images 5.6 MB (9), scripts 406 KiB (6) and fonts 28 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    2.7 MB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 608e998b81a43bd4703a63e3_services-custom.png at 1,190 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 2.7 MB.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (5.5 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.70 g of CO₂e: 204.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8588
  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 24 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10078
  • Title is short (13 characters)

    Your title is only 13 characters: “The Quilt Fox”. 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 canonical URL

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

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

  • 6 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 6 pages on thequiltfox.ca and 2 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 73 characters

    Your meta description is 73 characters: “Longarm services, custom quilts, and baby quilts made in Centre Hastings.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Longarm services and custom quilts, located in Centre Hastings”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://thequiltfox.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.

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 (216 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://thequiltfox.ca/pricing and https://thequiltfox.ca/contact use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://thequiltfox.ca/contact has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 2 internal pages checked

    We fetched 2 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 2 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 2 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Only about 214 words

    The homepage has only about 214 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “PRICING” and “CONTACT”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Contact” and “View pricing”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (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 thequiltfox.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
