Speed
Improve image delivery
4.8 s · 2.6 MB9 images could be 2.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (pop-convert.com, Shopify and Bugsnag and others), adding 3.0 MB and 131 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 23 ms
23 msShopify costs a phone 23 ms of main-thread work and 2.9 MB 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 · 16 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
135 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (135 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
65 KiBAbout 65 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 101 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 101 requests on a phone: images 2.9 MB (10), other files 567 KiB (45) and scripts 403 KiB (35). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Piermont-Lifestyle-Desktop2jpg.jpg weighs 1,007 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
1.2 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Piermont-Lifestyle-Desktop2jpg.jpg at 2,500 px wide, shown at 425 px. Resized copies would save about 1.2 MB.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.14 g of CO₂e: 136.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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.
Text is in the HTML

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.yardlinesheds.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without an H1
https://www.yardlinesheds.com/pages/faq, https://www.yardlinesheds.com/pages/contact and https://www.yardlinesheds.com/pages/warranty have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 192 words
The homepage has only about 192 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
