cheesemaking.com website review

The page has 3,260 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.

5 images could be 182 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (106 KiB).

About 274 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 26 ms of main-thread work and 416 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.

About 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Stamped.io, Google CDN and shgcdn3.com and others), adding 693 KiB and 126 ms of main-thread time.

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 59 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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 4.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Updated beginner cheese-making kit”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 127 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Copy_of_Copy_of_Black_Friday_Holiday_Sale_3.jpg at 3,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 79 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

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

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“New England Cheesemaking Supply Company” and “Cheese Making Made Easy”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 188 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 233 pages on cheesemaking.com and 2 external pages.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

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

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.

cheesemaking.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.

cheesemaking.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: 2 trust badges. 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.

The homepage carries about 885 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cheesemaking.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.
