cheesestore.com website review

13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 6.8 MB and 588 ms of main-thread time.

10 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Shopify costs a phone 154 ms of main-thread work and 6.0 MB 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.

10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (114 KiB).

About 491 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

The page has 1,530 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 179 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 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 21.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use essential cookies to make our site work. With your c…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 211 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 77 ms to 88 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 9.3 MB in 199 requests on a phone: media 4.0 MB (1), images 3.1 MB (22) and scripts 1.3 MB (61). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images weigh 1.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example france-summer-pasture-web.jpg at 2,400 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.2 MB.

4 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (818 KiB) is 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 2.63 g of CO₂e: 315.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).

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

Your title is 107 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills | Domenico's Foods – The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills …”.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “LA's most iconic Cheese Shop.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 177 pages on cheesestore.com and 28 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

There is no https://cheesestore.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://cheesestore.com/collections/cheese has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 80 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 of 19 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: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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.

The homepage carries about 943 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Termly) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

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

Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
