Overview Speed SEO UX Solution Talk
Confidential Opportunity Report — February 2026

Your brand is worth millions.
Your website is working against you.

We analyzed 303 pages of carrotexpress.com using Google's own tools. The food is incredible — but the site has a slow experience, outdated design, no Spanish, and security gaps that cost you orders every day.

Good — but strategy falls short

Lost Orders

53% of mobile users leave sites that take over 3 seconds. Yours takes 6.7 seconds. Half your traffic may leave before seeing the menu.

Design Doesn't Sell

The homepage promotes a smoothie punch card — not your food. The menu takes 2+ clicks to see items. No prices visible on the main menu page. The design informs, but it doesn't convert.

Security & Legal Risk

Your admin panel is publicly accessible. Accessibility failures create ADA lawsuit exposure ($10K-$50K per claim). The UserWay widget is a band-aid, not a fix.

The Bottom Line

You've built a multi-million dollar operation with incredible food and loyal customers. But your digital presence isn't keeping up — every day, potential potential customers find your site and leave for a competitor with a faster, better-designed experience. This is entirely fixable.

A hungry customer searches "healthy food near me."
Your site takes 6.7 seconds to show them anything.

Amazon found that every 100ms of delay costs 1% in sales. Your site takes 4 extra seconds vs. competitors. That's not a small gap — that's customers opening DoorDash while they wait.

What's Making It Slow

Server Takes Almost 1 Second Just to Respond

Every Visit

Before any content appears, your server takes 850ms to respond. Modern sites respond in under 50ms. This delay happens before anything else — it's dead wait time on every single visit.

Heavy Files Block Everything From Appearing

Every Visit

The site loads files that freeze the screen for over 2 seconds. It's like a store door that takes 2 seconds to open after you grab the handle. Customers stand there waiting, seeing nothing.

Photos Are Beautiful But Oversized

Huge Savings

Your food photography looks incredible — but the image files are massive and use outdated formats. Modern formats deliver the same quality at 40% less size. Faster to load, especially on phones.

Pages Are 5x Heavier Than Needed

Mobile Users

Your homepage downloads 5 times more data than necessary. On a phone inside a mall or in Miami traffic with weak signal, this means waiting... and waiting. Competitors load instantly.

Google can read your site. But it won't recommend it.

Your SEO basics check out (100/100) — but that only measures if Google can find your pages. The real issue: 106 duplicate blog posts, no enhanced Google listings, no Spanish content in a 70% Hispanic city, and 131 menu items with no unique descriptions.

No Spanish Version — In Miami

Massive Gap

Miami is 70% Hispanic. Your website is English-only. Every Spanish-speaking customer searching "comida saludable cerca de mi" can't find you — or can't read your menu if they do. Competitors with bilingual sites are capturing this entire audience.

106 Blog Posts That Hurt Your Rankings

SEO Damage

Titles like "Healthy Breakfast at a Healthy Restaurant in Bryant Park" and identical copies for every city — Google detects this as low-quality content and can push your entire site lower in results. These look like spam to both Google and customers.

Plain Google Listing vs. Enhanced Competitors

Lost Clicks

When someone searches for you, your listing shows a basic blue link. Competitors show star ratings, hours, prices, and photos directly in Google — getting 2-3x more clicks before anyone even visits their site.

Untapped: 30+ Locations, Zero Local Pages

Each location could have its own page with Google Maps, local reviews, hours, and delivery zones. "Near me" restaurant searches have grown 500% in 5 years — the highest-converting search in food. Right now, you're not capturing any of this traffic.

Your food looks incredible. Your website doesn't sell it.

A restaurant website has one job: turn visitors into orders. Right now, your site informs — it shows categories, images, and links — but it doesn't guide customers to order. The design is from an earlier era, the menu takes too many clicks, and critical features like your rewards program are practically invisible.

What Your Customers Actually See

On a Phone

Broken
Menu page wider than phone screen (419px → 375px)
  • Must scroll sideways to see your full menu
  • 46 buttons too small to tap with a finger
  • Text so small it's illegible outdoors
  • Cookie popup covers "Order Now" button

On a Tablet

Awkward
  • Layout designed for desktop, squeezed into tablet
  • Menu grid spacing looks unfinished
  • Footer becomes an endless scroll
  • Touch-unfriendly button sizes

On a Laptop

Overflow
Menu page: 1410px → overflows 1366px screens
  • Menu page spills past the edge of smaller laptops
  • Blog page has the same overflow problem
  • Inconsistent spacing creates a rushed look
Content cut off

This is what your menu page looks like on a phone. The right side of every menu item is cut off. Customers must scroll sideways just to see prices and the "add to order" button.

Why Your Website Isn't Selling

Your Homepage Doesn't Drive Orders

Missed Revenue

The first thing customers see is a Smoothie Punch Card promo — not your food, not a way to order, not your value proposition. Your homepage should answer one question instantly: "What do you serve and how do I order?" Right now, it doesn't.

Menu Requires 2+ Clicks to See Items

Lost Orders

Your main menu page only shows category images (Acai Bowls, Wraps, Salads). To see actual food items, prices, or photos, customers must click into each category. Every extra click loses 20% of visitors. Your competitors show items and prices on a single page.

Pages Overflow Every Screen We Tested

Broken Experience

Menu and blog pages are wider than the screen on phones, tablets, and small laptops. Customers must scroll sideways to see everything. 130+ buttons are too small to tap. This isn't one broken page — it's a site-wide design problem.

No Reviews, Ratings, or Social Proof

Trust Gap

Your homepage has zero customer reviews, no Google rating displayed, no press mentions. When a new customer lands on your site, nothing tells them "other people love this place." Social proof is the #1 conversion driver for restaurants.

Navigation Hides 'Menu' and 'Order'

Confusion

Your two most valuable actions — "View Menu" and "Order Now" — are hidden behind a hamburger icon on all devices. The only visible button is a small "ORDER" in the top right. Competitors make these actions impossible to miss.

Rewards & Newsletter Are Buried

Missed Loyalty

Carrot Perks is just an image link on the homepage — no explanation of benefits, no sign-up flow. The newsletter is a single text bar in the footer with no compelling reason to subscribe. These loyalty tools exist, but they're not working hard enough.

72% of restaurant searches happen on mobile

Nearly 3 out of 4 people searching for restaurants are on their phone. Your site's broken mobile layouts, tiny buttons, and cookie popups covering "Order Now" mean the majority of potential customers see your site at its worst. A broken mobile experience is a broken cash register.

You have a band-aid, but the wound is still open.

Your UserWay accessibility widget shows you care — but overlays don't fix the underlying code problems. And your WordPress admin panel is wide open to the public internet.

Score includes UserWay overlay

UserWay — What It Does vs. What It Doesn't

What it does ✓

  • Adds visual controls (font size, contrast)
  • Shows your commitment to accessibility

What it doesn't fix ✗

  • Broken form labels and navigation code
  • Color contrast in your actual design
  • Won't protect against ADA lawsuits

Admin Panel Exposed to Anyone

Security Risk

carrotexpress.com/wp-admin is fully accessible to the public — login form, password recovery, and all. This is an open invitation for attacks and unauthorized access to your entire website.

Overlay Won't Stop an ADA Lawsuit

Legal

Courts have ruled overlays like UserWay don't count as compliance. Only fixing the actual code does. With 30+ locations, Carrot Express is a prime target for ADA demand letters ($10K-$50K each).

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Legal + Security + Brand

ADA web lawsuits targeting restaurants grew 300% since 2018. Meanwhile, your exposed admin panel puts your menu, content, and data at risk. These aren't hypothetical — they're the most common attacks on restaurant sites.
