Speed

11 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 515 KiB

    About 515 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.2 s · 638 KiB

    12 images could be 638 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • 4,111 HTML elements

    The page has 4,111 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. 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, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 1.7 MB and 788 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 137 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (137 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 84 KiB

    About 84 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

    600 ms

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 297 ms

    297 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 297 ms of main-thread work and 503 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: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 202 ms

    202 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 643 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix67

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.4 MB in 349 requests

    5.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 349 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (52), scripts 1.9 MB (191) and other files 686 KiB (71). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (726 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.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.54 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.54 g of CO₂e: 184.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9797
  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 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 (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 70 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 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 2 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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 (2,052 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://johnsons-seeds.com/pages/rewards, https://johnsons-seeds.com/collections/aubergine-seeds, https://johnsons-seeds.com/collections/beetroot-chard-seeds, https://johnsons-seeds.com/collections/brassica-seeds, https://johnsons-seeds.com/collections/carrot-seeds and https://johnsons-seeds.com/collections/courgette-seeds and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://johnsons-seeds.com/pages/rewards has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 27 small tap targets

    27 of 75 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://johnsons-seeds.com/cdn/shop/t/42/assets/css-horizontal-product.bundle.css?v=82953'…”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 1,051 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,051 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • 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

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 42 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 42 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) 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 woolmans.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
