corston.com website review

12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

The page has 5,625 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (193 KiB).

About 55 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Hubspot and Optanon and others), adding 482 KiB and 434 ms of main-thread time.

3 images could be 189 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 35 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Desktop scores 89 but mobile only 63. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 7.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By clicking “Accept All Cookies”, you agree to the storing …”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 226 ms to 228 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 239 requests on a phone: media 2.8 MB (9), other files 935 KiB (140) and scripts 554 KiB (54). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.38 g of CO₂e: 165.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

7 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

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

4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

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

The homepage links to 191 pages on corston.com and 38 external pages.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

/en-us/collections/grove-back-boxes-trims-1 has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/en-us/pages/contact-us, /en-us/collections/kew-antique-brass, /en-us/collections/kew-bronze, /en-us/collections/kew-polished-nickel, /en-us/collections/kew-back-boxes-trims-1 and /en-us/collections/kew-spare-parts and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/en-us/collections/kew-antique-brass, /en-us/collections/kew-bronze, /en-us/collections/kew-polished-nickel, /en-us/collections/kew-spare-parts, /en-us/collections/grove-antique-brass and /en-us/collections/grove-bronze and 2 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
