downpour.com website review

The page has 6,228 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, boostcommerce.io and Hubspot and others), adding 941 KiB and 757 ms of main-thread time.

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

13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (255 KiB).

30 images could be 439 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

About 387 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Google CDN costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.

13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 152 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 7 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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 5.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “The Odessa Assassin Downpour Mobile Banner”.

Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 209 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 373 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 160 ms to 158 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 2.5 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 264 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (77), scripts 1.2 MB (63) and other files 801 KiB (104). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

The_Hollow_Downpour_Smartphone_Banner_1000x1400_ca7dbf10-a20 is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image (31 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 1.26 g of CO₂e: 151.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

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

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

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

Your title is only 8 characters: “Downpour”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

The homepage links to 507 pages on downpour.com and 19 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.

Your homepage links to /collections/all, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

/pages/wishlist, /collections/mystery-and-detective, /collections/romance, /collections/horror, /collections/science-fiction and /collections/popular-biographies-memoirs and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/pages/wishlist has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 122 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Boost > [ERROR] Cart icon selector not found in matched config”.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://downpour.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

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

downpour.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

downpour.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.

downpour.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.

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

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

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 1,858 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

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 Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 37 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
