Speed

9 to fix74
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    3.9 s

    The page goes through 3 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 3.9 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. 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, arenaflowers.com and Bing Ads and others), adding 1.4 MB and 778 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 511 ms

    511 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 511 ms of main-thread work and 389 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    442 KiB

    1 image could be 442 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 316 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    273 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (273 KiB).

  • arenaflowers.com adds 133 ms

    133 ms

    arenaflowers.com costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 900 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.

  • Document request latency

    250 ms

    The HTML itself could arrive about 250 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    154 KiB

    About 154 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    16 KiB

    About 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 721 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 316 ms

    316 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 316 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Zing Flowers has moved to our long term friends and partner…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.7 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 222 ms

    222 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 222 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors wait 0.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 129 ms

    129 ms

    Real visitors wait 129 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.6 s

    0.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 330 ms

    330 ms

    Real visitors wait 330 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix65
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 120 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 120 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (23), scripts 947 KiB (62) and other files 237 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    429 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example YOURWORLDOURMISSION_BANNERIMAGE_ce72881182_074971ee75.jpg at 3,360 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 429 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (581 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 7487
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    4 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 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: 42 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9280
  • Canonical points to another host

    Your canonical URL points to zingflowers.com, not zingplants.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Zing Flowers has moved”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (312 characters)

    Your meta description is 312 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 35 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on zingplants.com and 15 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Zing Flowers | Online Flower Delivery | Add A Little Zing”.

  • 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://zingplants.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (581 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

5 to fix55
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://zingplants.com/collections/fairtrade, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://zingplants.com/pages/about-us is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 7 pages share a title

    https://zingplants.com/collections/bouquets, https://zingplants.com/collections/letterbox, https://zingplants.com/collections/gifts, https://zingplants.com/collections/plants, https://zingplants.com/pages/subscriptions and https://zingplants.com/pages/contact-us and 1 other all use the title “Zing Flowers has moved to Arena Flowers”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 9 pages share a meta description

    https://zingplants.com/collections/bouquets, https://zingplants.com/collections/letterbox, https://zingplants.com/collections/gifts, https://zingplants.com/collections/plants, https://zingplants.com/pages/subscriptions and https://zingplants.com/pages/contact-us and 1 other use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://zingplants.com/pages/flower-delivery has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9278
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.net/action/0?ti=5140988&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=a9b426fe-6200-4d6d-b9dc-cf0754426674&bo=3&pi=918639831&lg=en-US&sw=390&sh=844&sc=24&nwd=1&tl=Zing%20Flowers%20has%20moved%20to%20Arena%20Fl.

  • 50 small tap targets

    50 of 72 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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 393 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 393 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get in touch”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Register” and “Sign up to our newsletter”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo, 1 trust badge and “1000+ reviews”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • 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

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 10 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 zingplants.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
