228grantstreet.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 images could be 164 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 165 KiB and 70 ms of main-thread time.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 53 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

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.

Your largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is element render delay (2.1 s).

Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

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.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example slide_6.jpg at 1,279 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 41 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.38 g of CO₂e: 45.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 27 characters: “228 Grant Street Candle Co.”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

The homepage links to 34 pages on 228grantstreet.com and 3 external pages.

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.

https://www.228grantstreet.com/collections/anniversary-campaign-collection has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

9 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

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

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.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

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.

The homepage has only about 81 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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

Opening the homepage sets 6 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 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
