1620designs.com website review

The page has 6,379 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, nfcube.com and hulkapps.com and others), adding 1.0 MB and 266 ms of main-thread time.

Shopify costs a phone 236 ms of main-thread work and 917 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.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 253 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 248 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

3 images could be 64 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Order here pick up here signs, matte black acrylic with whi…”.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 365 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 295 requests on a phone: scripts 908 KiB (122), other files 797 KiB (109) and images 255 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

4_733d1e83-f090-4069-9783-d1c978cdbec8.png 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 further down the page (26 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 62 pages on 1620designs.com and 7 external pages.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect and /policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /policies/shipping-policy, /collections/restroom-signs, /collections/gym-health-club-signs and /collections/directorysigns and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://1620designs.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

1620designs.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

1620designs.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 519 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 1620designs.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag and 1 more (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.

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
