amandacamenisch.com website review

24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.3 MB).

Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

About 132 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 410 ms faster on a phone.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 181 KiB and 120 ms of main-thread time.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 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).

Polyfills for old browsers add 8 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.

Your largest element takes 14.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “You Know How to Interpret the Appearance of the Sky but Not…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 15.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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 4.5 MB in 29 requests on a phone: images 4.1 MB (13), scripts 319 KiB (8) and fonts 10 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images weigh 2.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

13 images (4.1 MB) 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 151.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

13 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 16 characters: “Amanda Camenisch”. 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 Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://amandacamenisch.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

There is no robots.txt at amandacamenisch.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 36 pages on amandacamenisch.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.

There is no https://amandacamenisch.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

https://amandacamenisch.com/work/corpus-interire, https://amandacamenisch.com/work/cosmograms, https://amandacamenisch.com/work/first-all-in-then-all-out, https://amandacamenisch.com/work/inside-out, https://amandacamenisch.com/work/making-the-room-sing and https://amandacamenisch.com/work/metamorphosis-1 and 6 others declare the homepage as their canonical URL, which tells Google they are copies of the homepage and keeps them out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

15 of 16 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 “Unexpected token '<'”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

The homepage has only about 85 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 4 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 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
