Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.8 s · 523 KiBAbout 523 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 130 KiB3 images could be 130 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and cdn-spurit.com and others), adding 1.0 MB and 234 ms of main-thread time.
2,731 HTML elements
The page has 2,731 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 106 ms
106 msShopify costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 562 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 53 KiBAbout 53 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 17 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 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).
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 97 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 97 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (47), fonts 306 KiB (9) and images 221 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
20 text elements with low contrast
20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (49 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 49 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 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 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://tufttheworld.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: 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 (2,444 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://tufttheworld.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://tufttheworld.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
https://tufttheworld.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://tufttheworld.com/collections/finish-your-rug have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://tufttheworld.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://tufttheworld.com/products/tuft-the-world-an-illustrated-manual-to-tufting-gorgeous-rugs-decor-and-more, https://tufttheworld.com/collections/kits, https://tufttheworld.com/collections/tufting-machines and https://tufttheworld.com/collections/finish-your-rug have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
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.
No social proof

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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
