Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
541 KiBAbout 541 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 293 ms
293 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 293 ms of main-thread work and 357 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Adobe TypeKit and imgeng.in and others), adding 697 KiB and 293 ms of main-thread time.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 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
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
built-tuff.svg 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).
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 46 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 46 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (19), images 190 KiB (10) and fonts 143 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“YOU DREAM ITWE BUILD IT” and “YOU DREAM ITWE BUILD IT”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
88 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 88 pages on tuffshed.com and 9 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 103 characters
Your meta description is 103 characters: “Explore our wide range of storage sheds, garages, and more to find the perfect solution for your needs.”.
Title: 44 characters
Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “Tuff Shed | Storage Sheds, Garages, and More”.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: 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.tuffshed.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.tuffshed.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.
3 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,030 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.tuffshed.com/locations and https://www.tuffshed.com/blog all use the title “Tuff Shed”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without an H1
https://www.tuffshed.com/configure, https://www.tuffshed.com/warranty and https://www.tuffshed.com/paint-colors have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.tuffshed.com/paint-colors 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187103642&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=57933711-60c1-47d5-9e80-98c4ad0061f3&bo=1&sid=ba331580d5bd11f1994f9929e53118ec&vid=ba334ed0d5bd11f1bff2f39ace531d09&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
18 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 306 words of copy
The homepage carries about 306 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

13 calls to action
The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “(800) BUY-TUFFCall (800) BUY-TUFF”, “Get In Touch” and “Contact Us”.
Analytics in place

15 cookies set on arrival
15Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
19 other companies contacted
