Speed

10 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 594 KiB

    About 594 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 740 KiB

    24 images could be 740 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and loox.io and others), adding 1.3 MB and 856 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 170 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (170 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 83 KiB

    About 83 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 352 ms

    352 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 352 ms of main-thread work and 661 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,953 HTML elements

    The page has 1,953 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 168 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 6 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.8 s

    16.8 s

    Your largest element takes 16.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.18

    0.18

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.18 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • 28 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 307 ms

    307 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 307 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 156 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 157 ms

    157 ms

    Real visitors wait 157 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 772 ms

    772 ms

    Real visitors wait 772 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 334 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 334 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (73), scripts 1.4 MB (73) and other files 873 KiB (142). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Best_Sellers_-_Mobile.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).

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    318 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Best_Sellers_-_Mobile.png at 1,725 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 318 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (144 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (110 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

17 to fixGoogle 6080
  • 11 buttons without a name

    11 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (6 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 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.

  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail 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 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 15 links without text

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

  • 8 form fields without a label

    8 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings should not be empty (7 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 88 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 69 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 17 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is long (83 characters)

    Your title is 83 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Online Garden Store | Garden Items Online | Garden Accessories Online – TrustBasket”.

  • Meta description is long (167 characters)

    Your meta description is 167 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 12 links crawlers can't follow

    12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 204 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 204 pages on trustbasket.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Online Garden Store”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.trustbasket.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage and Organization.

  • 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.trustbasket.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,881 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.trustbasket.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix0
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.trustbasket.com/products/seaweed-fertilizer, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 93 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

5 to fixGoogle 4681
  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 49 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

  • 2 distorted images

    2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • 4 low-resolution images

    4 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 928 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 928 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

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

7 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “buy fresh seeds”, “order plants online” and “Contact Us”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks and 63 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 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.

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 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 trustbasket.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
