ck-settle.co.uk website review

A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 947 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 4,959 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 68. 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 750 ms.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (marsello.app, JSDelivr CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.4 MB and 319 ms of main-thread time.

8 images could be 539 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 395 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

marsello.app costs a phone 157 ms of main-thread work and 714 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.

Shopify costs a phone 34 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.

About 165 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.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 164 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).

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.

Your largest element takes 11.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Slide image”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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 5.9 MB in 414 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (119), other files 1.2 MB (200) and scripts 989 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ac.svg at 9,750 px wide, shown at 20 px. Resized copies would save about 121 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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.

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

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

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

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

Your title is only 15 characters: “Car and Kitchen”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 468 pages on ck-settle.co.uk and 11 external pages.

There is no https://www.carandkitchen.co.uk/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://www.carandkitchen.co.uk/collections/all-new-in, https://www.carandkitchen.co.uk/collections/bestsellers, https://www.carandkitchen.co.uk/collections/clothing-new and https://www.carandkitchen.co.uk/collections/homeware-new have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.carandkitchen.co.uk/collections/bestsellers took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 186 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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 197 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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 Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
