codyarsenault.com website review

About 349 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

2 images could be 352 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (203 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

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

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 401 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.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Cloudflare and others), adding 793 KiB and 439 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 208 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 47.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 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.

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

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Cody Arsenault | Ecommerce brand owner, paid media strategist, entrepreneur”.

Structured data found (Article, Organization, Person and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

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

The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), 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://codyarsenault.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.

4 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

The homepage has only about 49 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, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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 3 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.
