Speed
Improve image delivery
1.2 MB27 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, trustedsite.com and CyberSource (Visa) and others), adding 6.1 MB and 76 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 40 ms
40 msShopify costs a phone 40 ms of main-thread work and 6.0 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.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 503 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,634 HTML elements
The page has 1,634 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 101 KiBAbout 101 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
96 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (96 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 93 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).
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.0 MB in 267 requests
8.0 MBYour homepage downloads 8.0 MB in 267 requests on a phone: media 3.6 MB (2), images 2.8 MB (57) and other files 956 KiB (133). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Tobacco_Locker.svg weighs 833 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
15 images far larger than shown
1.1 MB15 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example new-world.jpg at 1,024 px wide, shown at 171 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
big_list_of_cigars.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (33 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.27 g of CO₂e: 272.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6, h3 → h6 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

45 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: 45 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

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.

Other pages
1 page without a title
https://tobaccolocker.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

1 page without a meta description
https://tobaccolocker.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://tobaccolocker.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 502 words of copy
The homepage carries about 502 words of visible text.
