Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.0 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.6 s · 567 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (567 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 505 KiB15 images could be 505 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Clarity and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 81 KiBAbout 81 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 285 ms
285 msShopify costs a phone 285 ms of main-thread work and 772 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.
2,502 HTML elements
The page has 2,502 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 141 ms
141 msKlaviyo costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.
azurefd.net adds 53 ms
53 msazurefd.net costs a phone 53 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 171 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
51 KiB51 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 508 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 508 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (156), other files 1.6 MB (281) and images 1.4 MB (37). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
TCF07410.jpg 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (96 KiB) is 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.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 217.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Links must have discernible text (5 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
11 form fields without a label
11 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0246/4595/9742/files/W.png?…”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
191 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 191 pages on westcoastsaw.com and 8 external pages.

Other pages
1 page without a meta description

3 pages without an H1
https://www.westcoastsaw.com/apps/giftregistry/wishlist, https://www.westcoastsaw.com/products/661-bark-box and https://www.westcoastsaw.com/products/3-point-shorty-felling-dogs have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Mobile viewport set

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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 294 words of copy
The homepage carries about 294 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP ALL PRODUCTS”.

Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (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.
27 cookies set on arrival
27Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
43 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 westcoastsaw.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
