confluencebrewing.com website review

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (getbento.com, Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 1.7 MB and 507 ms of main-thread time.

getbento.com costs a phone 392 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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 304 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

2 images could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (137 KiB).

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 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 17 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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Confluence Brewing Company Home”.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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 69 ms to 75 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 0.8 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 image (49 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 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Home” and “WHERE GOOD THINGS COME TOGETHER”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 25 pages on confluencebrewing.com and 24 external pages.

There is no /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.

/privacy-policy declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/about, /awards-and-recognition, /book, /events, /event-photos and /contact and 2 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

/book and /event-photos have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

confluencebrewing.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.

confluencebrewing.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.

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.

The homepage has only about 244 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

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.

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 12 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 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
