Speed

4 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    541 KiB

    About 541 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 293 ms

    293 ms

    Google 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 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    23 KiB

    1 image could be 23 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 730 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 41 ms

    41 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 41 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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 CLS: 0.41

    0.41

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.41 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.304

    0.304

    The layout shifts by 0.304 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Your largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Tuff Shed Premier Pro Tall Ranch with Clerestory Upgrade”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 320 ms

    320 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 320 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 117 ms

    117 ms

    Real visitors wait 117 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: 777 ms

    777 ms

    Real visitors wait 777 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 17% faster for real visitors

    -17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • 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 g

    By 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 MB

    Your 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

Google 100100
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • 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

100
  • 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 to fix88
  • 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.

5 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.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9684
  • 1 broken image

    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

2 to fix86
  • 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
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Call (800) BUY-TUFF” and “SHOP BUILDINGS”.

  • 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

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Ketch) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

    A consent management tool (Ketch) loads with the page.

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