Speed

16 to fix37
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5.7 s · 936 KiB

    47 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (936 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.0 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 334 KiB

    21 images could be 334 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 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 (Google CDN, Facebook and PayPal and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 123 KiB

    About 123 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 445 ms

    445 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 445 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    400 ms · 58 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 69 KiB

    69 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Facebook adds 271 ms

    271 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 284 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.

  • PayPal adds 257 ms

    257 ms

    PayPal costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 267 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.

  • 2,482 HTML elements

    The page has 2,482 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • podium.com adds 191 ms

    191 ms

    podium.com costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 494 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 197 ms

    197 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.62

    0.62

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.62 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.2 s

    22.2 s

    Your largest element takes 22.2 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: 32.4 s

    32.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.3 s

    12.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 780 ms

    780 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 780 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Real visitors wait 3.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • 27 images without width and height

    27 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 117 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 113 ms

    113 ms

    Real visitors wait 113 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 396 ms

    396 ms

    Real visitors wait 396 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.062

    0.062

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.062, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 5.9 MB in 347 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 347 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (118), other files 1.3 MB (135) and images 1,019 KiB (50). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Location-Mobile_360x.gif weighs 557 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (985 KiB) 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (448 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 202.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8088
  • 19 text elements with low contrast

    19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (4 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

    3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (3 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (3 elements)

    ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 23 images without alt text

    23 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.

  • 57 links without text

    57 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), 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. (6 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 10 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9279
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Designer Furniture Store Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane | Trit House”.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (FurnitureStore and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 256 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 256 pages on trithouse.com.au and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 146 characters

    Your meta description is 146 characters: “Trit House offers a huge range of exclusive designer furniture, homewares &amp; lighting. Visit our Melbourne, Brisbane…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.trithouse.com.au/.

  • 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://www.trithouse.com.au/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.trithouse.com.au/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 (805 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://www.trithouse.com.au/pages/room-for-more, https://www.trithouse.com.au/pages/tidal-outdoor-collection, https://www.trithouse.com.au/pages/brands and https://www.trithouse.com.au/pages/wishlist have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.trithouse.com.au/pages/20-years-of-trit 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 173 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    228 of 247 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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 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.

  • 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 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 779 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 779 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “CONTACT US” and “Shop Now”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (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.

  • 54 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 54 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Microsoft Clarity · Nosto · Avada Seo Suite · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Covet Instagram Feed Reviews · Free Gift · rebuyengine.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
