Speed

7 to fix55
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    9.6 s · 3.4 MB

    133 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.4 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    8.4 s

    75 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 8.4 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    5.2 s · 1.9 MB

    20 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 460 KiB

    About 460 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.6 s · 263 KiB

    About 263 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 230 ms

    230 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 565 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, jQuery CDN and Google Optimize and others), adding 871 KiB and 367 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 74 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 83 but mobile only 55. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Minify CSS

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 492 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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 LCP: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Real visitors wait 5.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 4.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors wait 3.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.0 s

    18.0 s

    Your largest element takes 18.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (8.1 s).

  • Speed Index: 16.8 s

    16.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.0 s

    18.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 40% slower for real visitors

    +40%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 19 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 82 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 90 ms

    90 ms

    Real visitors wait 90 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • 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 fix50
  • Page weight: 4.3 MB in 160 requests

    4.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 160 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (38), scripts 970 KiB (53) and stylesheets 407 KiB (58). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (2.5 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    cimbali-4a-1411x750.png 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).

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    279 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example cimbali-4a-1411x750.png at 1,411 px wide, shown at 374 px. Resized copies would save about 279 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.22 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.22 g of CO₂e: 145.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8488
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links must have discernible text (2 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (359 characters)

    Your meta description is 359 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 76 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 76 pages on trufrost.com and 5 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The best stories are shared over food & drinks”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Trufrost – The new vocabulary of cooling & foodservice”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://trufrost.com/.

  • 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://trufrost.com/wp-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://trufrost.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.

1 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.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 15 pages share a meta description

    https://trufrost.com/bakery, https://trufrost.com/cake-sweet-shops, https://trufrost.com/commercial-kitchens, https://trufrost.com/pizza-making, https://trufrost.com/bars-pubs and https://trufrost.com/food-retail and 9 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    https://trufrost.com/trufrost-brand-3, https://trufrost.com/butler-brand, https://trufrost.com/victoria-arduino, https://trufrost.com/elektra-eklipto-e2, https://trufrost.com/unox and https://trufrost.com/rational and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://trufrost.com/elektra-eklipto-e2, https://trufrost.com/unox and https://trufrost.com/la-cimbali have 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.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    https://trufrost.com/commercial-kitchens, https://trufrost.com/food-preservation, https://trufrost.com/victoria-arduino, https://trufrost.com/elektra-eklipto-e2 and https://trufrost.com/rational took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 27 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Only about 96 words

    The homepage has only about 96 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Service Request”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 trufrost.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
